Seizures are always related to a disease,specifically a disease suddenly taking hold of you.
Convultions are involuntary muscle movements.
The confusion being epileptic seizures often are accompanied by convultions.

Erm..."A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain." and
Convulsions are when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly.
The term "convulsion" is often used interchangeably with "seizure," although there are many types of seizures, some of which have subtle or mild symptoms instead of convulsions. Seizures of all types are caused by disorganized and sudden electrical activity in the brain."

Convulsions tend to be major - in as much as you notice them. Seizures are often barely noticed.

If you persist with chopping logic in such a cack handed manner and calling people "thicko"......Then sooner or later either chickenlady, Al or Enzyme will make minced-meat out of you.
