Epileptic Seizure

Back


This is a video of me having a partial seizure. I am 21 years old and have suffered from epilepsy since I was 5. However, this is the first of my seizures that I was ever able to see. When I was younger, I would always wake up after a seizure and ask what happened, my parents, doctors, teacher, and friends would never tell me much more that "You just had a little trouble." Senior year of high school I finally got my seizures under control with the help of a VNS stimulator and medication. For 2 ½ years I was seizure free until my junior year of college when I started to have cluster breakthrough seizures. My roommate (the one who filmed my seizure for me) started to describe to me what actually happened during my seizures; it was then that I asked him to film me. He has been there for me through some of my most serious seizures and I trust him with my life. If the title is offensive to anyone I am sorry but I found that the best way to keep my friends and others around me from "Freaking Out" and calling for an ambulance every time is to show them that I am comfortable with myself and the condition that I suffer from. In college this might mean making a little joke about yourself. Thanks -Eric
