I had a seizure when I was 6 (don't remember it, lost sonsciousnous), when I was 8, in the summer (I had about 10 seizures that summer, all resulting in loss of consciousness) when I was 9 or 10 (I was in my dad's car when suddenly my lips started getting numb, I started shaking, and drooling. Lost consciousness.) However, when I was 11, in a museum with my parents, my lips went numb, I started shaking, drooling, and, basically, all signs of a seizure resulting in loss of consciousness. I KNOW that seizure should have knocked me out cold, like the rest of them. However, I used all my will and resisted it! How did I do that? The physician (and everyone else) said it was impossible! I didn't tell my parents about resisting the seizure or even having the seizure; everything went on as normal, though I was shaken for several minutes after it went away. I KNOW that was a lose-consciousness seizure; I can feel it; HOW DID I RESIST IT???
I DID!!!
I AM 100% SURE I DID!!!

Children who have diseases such as epilepsy do not know any better than to try to "fight it". They just go with what their body is telling them and just have a seizure. As we age, our brain is much more in "sync" with our body. You may be able to recognize specific "aura's" that go along with your seizures, and take certain steps in your mind so it doesn't get full-blown. Even having the numbing of your lips, and the shaking means that you did have a seizure, it just wasn't a "grand mal". Epileptics have both "petite mal" and "grand mal" seizures, I'm sure you know all about them. I don't think you can actuallly stop all the symptoms of having a seizure, but it is possible that as you age, you just become more aware of a seizure coming on. Your mind is an amazing organ!
Others simply outgrow grand mal seizures and carry on having only petite mal ones. Either way, keep doing what you're doing. Don't let anyone tell you that anything you do is IMPOSSIBLE. That's not right, for they're not you. Good luck, and God bless.

have you ever heard of an Ora? An Ora is the sensation you get in the previous you have a seziure, it we could a individual comprehend they may well be on the factor of having one. yet you won't be in a position to count quantity a hundred% of the time which you will truthfully have one once you start to sense an Ora coming near. now and back it is going away and you have not got the seizure. Of corse there are all styles of possibilitys available, could it have been your determination, i could in no way say for specific it wasn't. whether what's definitely customary approximately seizures, as your well-being care provider has already informed you is there is not any info that a seizure would be stopped. i think of theres a greater valuable threat you experienced an Ora and then it did no longer deliver approximately the truthfully seizure.

It's called an aura. Symptoms you experience before having a seizure are called Auras. And it's very possible that's what happened to you. If you have epilepsy, you need to see a nuerologist, get on Depicot, and start treating it, and finding what triggers them. I was luck enough to start my treatment so early, I haven't had a seizure in over 10 years now, and hopefully never will. I think you experience an aura. Now go see a neurologist! If you can recover, and not have seizures anymore, then you should GO FOR IT

The doctor told me that my son would proably outgrow his seizures. Maybe you are beginning to outgrow them. You can hope.
