I've never really had pain. Just the frustration of being half conscious while trying to stop my eyes from fluttering open and shut when I was a child. I would ask the doctor about this. It might not hurt to keep a seizure journal, to document seizure times and your responses to those seizures. It makes it easier to describe tthe progression of epilepsy to the doctor who has limited time with each one of his many patients.
