If GFY were like a drug...

How would you know you'd had enough?


Some kids have a warning before the seizure starts. That's called an "aura". The aura can be a twitching movement of one part of your body, a funny feeling in your stomach, a tingling feeling, funny vision or speech, or just about anything your brain is capable of doing. It's basically the actual beginning of a seizure. During an aura, the part of your brain that is not having the seizure is watching the part of your brain that is having it. These are called "partial seizures", meaning that they start in only part of the brain. Sometimes the seizure stays in only one part of the brain, and othertimes, the seizure may spread to other parts. If you have a special way that your seizure starts, make sure to tell your parents and doctors. That way, they can best help control your seizures.

Some kids have no warning before the seizure. Perhaps the aura was so brief that it couldn't be noticed...more

Not sure where I am in the cycle. My eyelids are transparent, and I have been guessing that the phone will ring about 20 mins. before it does, then 10 mins, then 5 mins...


Your symptoms?
