Seizure Tracker Event logged on 22/09/13 11:27 PM with duration of 7 mins 28 secs.
I was diagnosed with JME - Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy when I was 12 (now 32). The reason I have posted this is to try and create awareness for people around the world of what a tonic clonic (previously called a Grand Mal) seizure looks like and what epilepsy is. I am lucky that the people in my world are very supportive and understanding as alot of people still hold alot of stigma with all forms of epilepsy. I am lucky that mine can be well controlled with the right amount and type of medication, but there are some that cannot be controlled as well with meds and people who have all different types of seizures (I have Myoclonic and Tonic Clonic seizures) I am also fortunate that I have warnings, allowing me to let someone know and get myself to a safe place, other people dont have this which is why it is important to know what to do if you ever see someone have a seizure. Feel free to leave comments however I would prefer no negativity, it took alot for me to post this online, but I feel that Knowledge is Power. Here is a link which tells you what to do if you ever come across someone having a tonic clonic seizure http://www.webmd.com/epilepsy/guide/f...
