An epileptic seizure (colloquially a fit) is a brief episode of signs or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. The outward effect can vary from uncontrolled jerking movement (tonic-clonic seizure) to as subtle as a momentary loss of awareness (absence seizure). Diseases of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures are collectively called epilepsy, but seizures can also occur in people who do not have epilepsy. Additionally, there are a number of conditions that look like epileptic seizures but are not.
A first seizure generally does not require treatment unless there is a specific problem on either electroencephalogram or brain imaging.
5–10% of people who live to 80 years old have at least one epileptic seizure and the chance of experiencing a second seizure is between 40% and 50%. About 50% of patients with an unprovoked apparent “first seizure” have had other minor seizures, so their diagnosis is epilepsy. Epilepsy affects about 1% of the population currently and affects about 4% of the population at some point in time. Most of those affected—nearly 80%—live in developing countries.
When dealing with a person having a seizure, do NOT put anything in their mouth, ever. Period. Don't. Got it? Good. Next, put them on their side - doesn't matter which - in a sort of face-down on the side kind of position. The key is to make sure the saliva can run OUT of the mouth, and not back into the throat and the lungs. Remove glasses and loosen clothing where you can. Try to prop up the person's head with something soft like a jacket or your thigh. If you see them bashing their foot or hand or any other part, try to pad that, too. When they start to flail, very -VERY- gently keep them from crashing into stuff and flopping around and hurting themselves. DO NOT restrain them in a hard way as you can tear muscles and so on. Just keep them from hurting themselves. Gently. DO NOT call...
I went into the hospital for an EEG and FINALLY got to see what it looks like when I have a seizure. Apparently this scares people. I actually think it is a little funny. Not in a bad way or anything. I just think I look and sound funny. I don't think it is scary at all. Maybe it is because I have been actually experiencing these for 16 years. I don't know. But here it is! I was eating breakfast, a strawberry, when I had the seizure. The nurses run in and do the standard stuff that happens when you're in the hospital having a seizure during an EEG. Give me oxygen, suck out some slobber from my mouth. They talk to me when they think I can maybe hear. But I don't start coming out of the seizure until the very end.
A brief demonstration of the different types of epileptic seizures based on the International Classification of Epileptic Seizures.
A viral video has been floating around of Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton having what appears to be a seizure. She is being bombarded by a series of questions by reporters in a place that appears to be like a Starbucks, then when she turns around to one of them to answer, she jerks her head back several times within a few seconds... in a strange way. Some have said that this is her just being silly because of all the people surrounding her, others have said that this is a case of epilepsy, or a mild seizure caused by her previous concussion that she suffered from a fall in 2012. In December of 2012, she fainted and suffered a concussion after an alleged stomach virus which caused dehydration. This, conveniently or not, came right before she was supposed to testify bef...

Irrefutable Proof: Hillary Clinton Has a Seizure Disorder!
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaaPpNt0mq1Mc97c954vfPw 12-year-old "Cyndimae" (11-years-old at the time of this video) suffers from a rare form of epilepsy, known as "Dravet Syndrome." Here her mother, Susan Meehan, administers activated-THC, present in oils extracted from the Cannabis (Marijuana) plant, as an emergency anti-seizure medication. When applied orally between the gums and lower lip, the medication is able to soak directly to her bloodstream through the mucus membranes in her mouth. Which, as you can see, knocks out the seizure in a matter of seconds and with virtually no side effects.

http://cbdchoices.com - Don't hold your breath (pardon the pun) for the DEA or FDA or any federal authority to legalize the use of Hemp and cannabidiol for medicinal purposes. We all know it was used widely 85 years ago when "Big Pharma" was not yet fully established. They were still in the "snake oil" stage. But now that they own the government and all legislators, there is zero chance you will find this stuff legalized. Your health is up to you. Inform yourselves and act accordingly to your needs.

Our brains are comprised of at least 150 different subtypes of neurons. Each one of these neurons produces a ‘Pak!’. This represents a very fast change in electrical potential of the cell and it is called an action potential. A single neuron is like a pale blue dot in a very complex system of billions of neurons and trillions of connections between these neurons. Being a musician himself, Jokubas is interested in looking at neurons from a different perspective: if we were to perceive neural activity as sound, it would probably sound like screaming. What does screaming do to your voice and vocal cords – it causes loss of voice and can even permanently damage the vocal cords. The same happens to neurons that are ridden by seizure activity – excessive electrical activity and excitation can e...
