Screaming during a seizure???

Wed, 01/12/2005 - 16:02
I'm just wondering, apparently I scream while having a seizure, enough so that someone could think I was being murdered... Is this normal? I'd really like to know.

I scream 9 outta 10 times

I scream 9 outta 10 times for 35 years. I had one of my co workers write me an email about exactly what she saw/heard from my seziure I had at work and I cried as I read it. My son & DH say that I look like I am dying...............how awful for them to have to keep going through this time & time again......my son did a phone video of me having a complex partial (for the doctor) and I saw it and kinda giggled a little and my son became angry with me and said "Mom! you have no idea how hard that is for us to go through!" I just can't feel what they feel....I get irritated with all of the "get your sleep Dawn" "Make sure you eat" (I have Diabetes) "Are you okay?" "Any Auras?" thats all I hear everyday. I KNOW they mean well and I couldn't ever ask for a more SUPPORTIVE LOVING family...but I just don't know how to connect to them. I never know what I do or how I look or sound... I pray, not for myself, but for my family...that they never have to see it again...

I had a terrible seizure last month that scared my boyfriend and friends so damn much! I have never heard of anyone having such a seizure...

I was screaming at the top of my lungs and moaning! I got agressive and started hitting, biting, kicking my boyfriend!   I said things I would never dream of saying. That was totaly out of character! I'm so confused! I have absolutely nomemory of the seizure.

I'm still looking for answers. my neurologist and psychiatrist said that i can start expecting seizures like these in the future, which scares me! I'm only 20 years old!

Im glad someone posted this. I scream during my more severe complex sz's but could never figure out why. I don't say anything, it's not words, just pure sound coming out at the top of my lungs. My first sz ever it scared the living hell out of everyone. They were rushing me to the hospital in a car and I didn't know how to let them know I wasn't screaming out of pain or fear. Bizarre. Moaning is common though.
