Sensible Question
How can you almost have a seizure?
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 14 Jan 2013, 15:53, 2 replies, latest was 12 years ago)

You get what is known as an aura in advance of a seizure (depending on the type of epilepsy you have)
These are different for different people, I get pins and needles down the side of my face and a sudden aversion to heat.

I then pop a diazepam & lay down until I feel normal again.

Sounds fucking horrible

It isn't very pleasant.

Can only speak from my own experience
but I get a weird feeling that I know I'm going to tip over into one at some point that day. I was getting clusters of 5-10 partial seizures for a day or two each month and I often knew what days they were going to happen because that day I would have the start of the weird feelings that accompany the seizure.

What I don't like is having to do certain things differently or not at all in case I have a fit.
As an example, I can't take my daughter swimming without my wife or another adult accompanying us.

This is purely because of height restrictions at the baths though

No, that's because you're a filthy Saville and can't be trusted alone in a swimming pool.

I reckon his mrs must follow him round with a couple of persil liquitabs in her handbag at all times.
That and a morning after pill so they don't have to renew their marriage vows again.

Well, at least my fertility isn't a problem.
Unlike some people I could mention eh Al?

What was it like trying to spunk in to a petri dish?

The first neurologist I saw advised me not to go swimming with my daughter in a deserted mountain lake.
It's pretty crap. I love those deserted mountain lakes.

It's not deserted if you're there, though.

That's why she can't go swimming in deserted mountain lakes!

That's very true.
I expected better logic from a neurologist. It's not brain surgery.
