Ecstatic Seizures
Thu, 08/27/2009 - 07:32Hi
Has anyone experienced "ecstatic" seizures? I've had a series of them recently, and they are amazing: totally outside the range of normal experience and by far the best experiences of my life! I'm not religious or "spiritual" but recognise that they could be construed by others as deep and meaningful life changing events...evidence of the "divine" as opposed to neurological events.
I've been told by my neurologist they are very rare and I've not been able to find out much about them/share experiences.

Hello all, I'm adding this comment just over a month after the original post having realised that the thread is now incredibly confusing and there are some misunderstandings following what seem to be random postings. You may want to follow the date order of the posts before making comments or coming to conclusions.
Regards,
Victoria

Hi Rick,
I share Zealot's concern about your condition and I'm sure many other people on this forum do to. Have you contacted someone to help? Let us know. Follow your instincts...

Hi not High!
PSSSSTTT!!!! someones listening! Sorry have had a problem communicating for a while ! I can read it I can relate to it but then the process of re-writing it puts such a strain on my mind (right front) it actually hurts ,twitching, blinking, sweats, REAL pain ?????
Try telling that one to neuro mmm? I try to write my thoughts down and twitch and float above my chair if I try real hard then? lol
Think I will keep some of that a secret for now .
Just a note to say PEACE to you all and let you understand that others are out there and do "feel" a lot of the things , I have recently read every word of this post and in all honesty have felt about 75% of it since child hood
I experience partials now that are 45 sec. to about 2 min long that can best be described as orgasmic ? also a lot of the same feelings a person may get in the millisecond after you are electrocuted ,before it hurts. a lot of these feelings are also the same rush that is addicting from drug use or adrenaline rush .
I also "feel" a lot of the hyper-sensitive I experience when in postictal phases during recovery from long g-mals would fit into what is being described as "ECSTATIC"
Just my personal BUMP to say thanks Rick Wichita Ks.
