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

Hello
YES i,M "FINE" I knew I was jabbering to much as it was.
All I meant to say in this thread was my experience with hallucugens and the similarities to the outer mind ,wow far out feelings so many are describing.
As for me I,m a little better it has been a LONNNNNGGGG week
I,m not alone thanks, I,m a single father of an exceptionally bright 11 yr old girl that has witnessed a few dozen of these szs now .
She is under strict orders NOT to call an ambulance and understands when to do so .
I,m having long gmals in my sleep now a days 1 a week miniumum .most last 30 min.
Me and my d.d got h1 n1, the first hrs I got this the fever kicked in and it was clear I was not O.K. I feel the fever was a trigger and set 2 maybe 3 gmals in one at 2a.m another at 6 a.m both 30 min. long, shew well that caused 9,10 hrs sleep then hunger confusion etc etc. a cpl days of pure hell .
I have never been unable to care for myself in my life I,m only 46, very scary stuff.
I,m rambling because I,m so out of focus. I fully understand what you said about a "STOIC" attitude that is not where I,m at at all. lol I,m on ssdi now and is actually how I ended up here from worrying about other folks problems andlet my self slip in a hole ?
I was placed on ssdi in less that 90 days on first try ? so I I GUESS I was sick lol huh? that has been a real duh moment for me . I have been telling others for yrs now , it takes 8 full days to recover from "one" of these szs. so three or four a month and with some of todays laws I can be liable if I hurt someone ?
I did not mean to imply I read all this material at once lol lol
oh no about 4 yrs time but mainly over one summer when I broke my foot and was imobile .
Oh yes and to some degree you are right about concussions Just my life in general has led up to a lot of this .
I now understand I have had "auras" all my life and possibly starting from being hit by a car as a 5 yr. old?
But that dejavu auras that we are talking about here (on topic) lol I have experienced all of my life .
To varying degrees some good,some GREAT, and different times bad. I posted here to just simply say what I said about the enlightening feelings from dope and the ones you are talking about .
Can be a lot of fun I suppose . I see all of this completly as just a bunch of loose receptors and brain cells .
I appreciate the concern I do feel a little better today very weak , 5th day, but yes here is proof the fever and seizures DO NOT go together. lol. RIck
disclaimer.....I havelearned to type 8 times from memory loss some days I get it some I don,t . R.C.
peace R.C.
