I have absence seizures. I was diagnosed at the age of 5 but have been seizure free since the age of thirteen and so was taken of meds which caused massive weight gain a hand tremor and memory loss. The point is meds are good up until a point an then it becomes a pill no pun intended. my triggers are flashing lights, specifically the transition from the out doors to inside a classroom getting too hot and recently sleep deprivation. The effects of my epileptic seizures is that i have Aspie like tendencies due to my epilepsy which i know is difficult to understand to put it in simple terms as a result of my seizures my brain compensated and rewired itself and so i have all of the symptoms of Aspergers but lack any sort of understanding math which for most Aspergers people they are gifted with math abilities. After my father died, it seems I have had a relapse if that is possible. i still have my absence seizure but it is not enough to put me on meds . i have been getting driving lesson and have my usual 10 seizures in the drivers seat. i take omega 3 cod liver oil liquid form as i can not swallow pills. ( also helps decrease the too -small -to -medicate -seizures) i think i said that my seizures came back i wanted to clarify the EEG showed misfiring not seizure activity per say.

I stare in space for that long i stare and be normal again i started when i was 6

I would say that this video is somewhat disingenuous. It said that emergency assistance is NOT required. Well, like most seizures that’s true, but if it’s the first time it happens you should call an ambulance. If the staring spell lasts for 5 minutes or more you should call an ambulance. Finally, if the person has another seizure soon after the initial one you should call an ambulance.
