Seizures alone
Thu, 10/25/2018 - 02:02Topic: Teen Zone
Hello, my name is Dani and I’m 22 and I’m new to the site. I live with my parents,but they’re always busy and can’t really come help me. When I have a seizure I fall to the ground and start jerking and foaming at the mouth. I can’t always tell when they are going to happen and I always end up getting hurt.

My brother has recently had 2 seizures within 6 days both lasting around 2 mins. Support from your family is the best as they can make sure that you are breathing and on your side during seizures.
