feeling out of this world

I can honestly say that more than one person in the world has really been thrown out of step by the effects of this seizure grouping. They really can be scary, and that's just in reading what effect they do have on the mind(read the second link) in the way people think. Especially about what they think they are seeing when engaged in activity like reading. They really have got things wrong, and had an altered sense of reality! Some people with 'partial' seizures have in the past thought that the 'aura' part of the seizure was the actual seizure, when really, that was the warning sign. * Simple Partial Seizures. A person with a simple partial seizure (sometimes known as Jacksonian epilepsy) does not lose consciousness but may experience confusion, jerking movements, tingling, or odd mental and emotional events. Such events may include deja vu, mild hallucinations, or extreme responses to smell and taste. After the seizure, the patient usually has temporary weakness in certain muscles. Complex Partial Seizures. Slightly over half of the seizures in adults are complex partial types, and about 80% of these seizures originate in the temporal lobe, the part of the brain located close to the ear. Disturbances there can result in loss of judgment, involuntary or uncontrolled behavior, or even loss of consciousness. About 20% of these patients have seizures that start in the brain's frontal lobes. Prior to the actual seizure, people sometimes experience a warning sign, known as an aura, which can be an odd odor, a feeling of warmth, or a visual or auditory hallucination. They then may lose consciousness briefly and appear to others as motionless with a vacant stare. Emotions can be exaggerated; some sufferers even appear to be drunk. After a few seconds, some may begin to perform repetitive movements, such as chewing or smacking of lips. Episodes usually last no more than two minutes, and people can have them infrequently or as often as every day. A throbbing headache may follow a complex partial seizure. In some cases, simple or complex partial seizures evolve into what are known as secondarily generalized seizures. The progress may be so rapid that the partial stage is not even noticed. <a href="http://adam.about.com/reports/000044.htm">http://adam.about.com/reports/000044.htm</a> <a href="http://www.neurologychannel.com/epilepsy/symptoms.shtml">http://www.neurologychannel.com/epilepsy/symptoms.shtml</a> <a href="http://www.trileptal.com/info/understanding/simple-partial-seizures.jsp">http://www.trileptal.com/info/understanding/simple-partial-seizures.jsp</a> "Many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1
