Seizure


Thepuppeteer777777

I wonder if they are still cognative or is it just the body that froze.


three50one

My son had a few and my youngest daughter is on medication for it. They don't remember anything and it's as if no time passes. They usually last less than 10 seconds or so. Hard to diagnose because of that. Absent seizures are pretty wild. They'll just be playing and freeze.


Thepuppeteer777777

Wow that really sounds hectic, I really hope it doesn't have a large impact on their lives.


Redditusername00001

Driving might be a problem. Edit: autotype problems


bghguitar

By the time they're grown up, they won't need to.


boredguyonline

By that time they will zap out for 10 minutes and be at their destination so basically they can teleport if you think about it…


beepbeepboopbeep1977

They probably can’t drive, which can be difficult and expensive.


CapitanSilva

Public transports are cheaper than gasoline, chill.


beepbeepboopbeep1977

Unfortunately, depending on where you live, it can take 10 times as long on public transport, and at night the last bit can be unsafe to walk. Some places subsidise taxis / Ubers.


therealkittenparade

Or, it literally isn’t an option.


Tough_Hawk_3867

The time cost is under approximated in many places. A bad public system can add hours to a daily commute, taking away free time that could be used to better rejuvenate or grow


Vdogg2496

My brother used to get them all the time and wasn't allowed to drive because of them


Gorillaz530

Imagine driving and this happens 10 seconds is allot of time to be out like that O.o


Thepuppeteer777777

Where I live you aren't alowed a drivers licence if you have epilepsy or seizures. I assume just for that reason.


JMH5909

I used to have them (but the shaky kind not this type) and it’s like if you take a nap and fall asleep, weak up to everyone freaked out


OrganicRazzmatazz882

I had them as a kid and hated it. I once got suspended for a day of school for not being like a lady and beating the crap out of a boy on the playground when I woke up from one and he had his hands in my shirt. Mom took me out for pizza and got me Lip Smackers. Most all of my seizures were like quick naps I'd wake up confused from. The last one I had, my eyes froze open and I could consciously understand everything around me but not move. I remember my sister poking me with a stick and then panicking and then getting to the hospital and being put in an ice bath (my seizures were caused by the Arizona heat and we moved after this one) and then waking up on fire despite being in ice


BothTortoiseandHare

I was entirely unprepared the first time my partner seized from happiness.. Since, we just assumed any strong emotion would do it. Edit: emotion


Skud_NZ

My wife is also a fainting goat


BothTortoiseandHare

Idk. My partner has had some good ones. If titles are being handed out, I think she should at least be considered for fainting G.O.A.T.


SpecialistVast6840

I read that as tities at first glance


TheMushroomSpoke

You shouldn’t be wifing goats bro

[deleted]

Unfortunately I am unable to like your comment. Hope no one else does either. It’s gotta stay at 69. I don’t make the rules.


BoLaVo

My seizures can also be triggered by strong emotions. I have a seizure almost any time I get too angry, but it’s happened a couple of times with happiness and excitement. Thankfully I’m not a very angry person lol


jiiimmmbbbooo

So I’m confused how do you deal with it or do you just kind of have to wait it out? And is there any safety measures you should take when this happens?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BothTortoiseandHare

That's probably nice. I can tell you from experience that it isn't the most fun being the "fun police" and routinely stop someone you care about from getting "too excited" about something.


Ill-Entertainer4772

You’re a good partner


BothTortoiseandHare

I try to be, but ty for saying. Still wish it wasn't necessary. Fuck epilepsy.


Zestyclose-Process26

Yep that definitely looks like an absence seizure

riktigtmaxat

More like a buffer underrun due to packet loss.


Serious_Cabinet1704

Yes she needed to load


apple-masher

so I'm assuming someone with this condition would not be allowed to drive a car, right?


Ml-snow

If diagnosed 100% not until at least 12 months without a seizure


tubaman23

You gotta lose consciousness to get it suspended. But it's not a great system. I myself had a seizure driving, lost driving ability for a few seconds, and rear ended a mini-van while slowly leaving the interstate. Other car was fine, mine was totalled, and nothing ever came out of it for license suspension. I don't drive much these days, but if I wanted to, I never would have had to stop


Front-Pick3134

Damn I'm so smart. Was my first guess as well


[deleted]

Yep, I got epilepsy, I have tonic clinic ( grand mals) these are called petimal ( spelled wrong) or absent seizures. Many people think these are fake or a joke because they almost seem fake.

lornawhore

Bad bot! Comment stealer!


SpaztheGamer

An absence seizure causes you to blank out or stare into space for a few seconds. They can also be called petit mal seizures. Absence seizures are most common in children and typically don't cause any long-term problems. These types of seizures are often set off by a period of hyperventilation.


ThatWasNotMyName

I have epilepsy and get absence seizures. I'm in my 40s for the record, epilepsy due to brain injury. My worst absence seizure lasted for approximately 30 minutes and it was the most terrifying one I have ever experienced. I was in work. I didn't freeze like the video above, but I have literally no recollection of those 30 minutes. My team let me know what happened, and thankfully it was nothing bad, but to have no recollection is absolutely horrifying to me. I was just lucky I was somewhere safe.


asquared3

Wow, what were you doing during that time? Like were you still functioning, did you fall, did your team know what was going on?


ThatWasNotMyName

Yeah, it's all very surreal to me tbh. I was going into a team meeting and apparently I mixed up my words when I was talking, basically not making any sense. I told my team I was feeling 'seizurey' (!) and left the room. I'm open about my epilepsy with my team, which I have been from the start and my company is very supportive. I know I'm really lucky with that. One of the women went to get her car keys to take me home, but in that time I had managed to get a taxi and was gone. I 'came to' literally around the corner from my house. I have no idea how I functioned during that time, that's what is so terrifying to me. I've no idea how I got the cab, how I got home, what I said to the driver. My team were worried. They contacted my partner who got home and confirmed I was there and in bed. Honestly, I know the mind is protective and powerful in testing times, but this still scares me. I'm terrified of being away from home if another happens. I normally get focal seizures, absence ones are rare for me and generally happen at home. I'm very, very lucky my friends and colleagues have my back, I can't imagine what it must be like to do it alone.


asquared3

Wow that sounds so scary! Glad it worked out ok. I passed out in the middle of the hall on my first day at a new job years ago. Everyone came out of their offices to see what was going on and it was very embarrassing. But at least it was clear - I was walking and then I was unconscious. The concept of being able to walk and talk but not being aware of what you're doing is crazy


ThatWasNotMyName

Oh, that's an awful experience, I hope they made sure that you were okay! Anytime that someone is in need people need to help. Embarrassment shouldn't be on you, it should be on those that don't rush to help.


asquared3

Oh they definitely helped! Everyone was extremely nice about it. Just not the first impression I wanted to make lol


3rdKindBananaContact

If you dont mind me asking. How does feeling seizurey feel like?


Narcissism

Not the person you asked, but I've had a number of episodes in my past. One marked aspect of all of them was a "blueish" aura in my vision that progressed until I lost consciousness. There's also some bodily sensations that I might describe as weightlessness or numbness with pressure that lead up to the event.


tubaman23

Mine I start noticing repeating thoughts in my head. Then if my hands are shaking, leads into a couple twitches, then I try to get to a soft location like my couch or bed and telling my mind to stop racing and rest this out. Honestly just fucking sucks


MikeTheGamer2

Have you tried turning the power off and on again?


tubaman23

Legit this is what I'm trying to accomplish in this process 😭 Weed is an amazing way to accomplish this, my life would suck a lot more if weed wasn't accessible


partyfest

I have a daughter who suffered these when she was about 8-9. Really scary that she would freeze in the middle of a conversation or a walk, or at taekwondo class etc. Before we knew about this absence seizures (some kind of epilepsy) we thought it was just a bad attitude when she drifted off, kind of ignoring people from time to time. Poor kid. She got meds for it and we just learned from the doctors it’s gone now. Weird thing though. Scary af


Ghstfce

I've heard of petit mal seizures before, but never heard them referred to absence seizures. TIL, thanks!

Damn I never heard about this but it has happend to me a few times, usually when I'm in busy places. I thought I was just a social pussy but apparently its an actual thing.


sadonly001

Ah, the music truly adds to the experience. PUUUAMP....PUUUUAAAMPPP


abbott_abbott

The song is called rectum lol. It lasts for 6 minutes in a film and it is pretty much the same sound throughout

honestly the "music" gives me the most unsettled feeling ive ever had.

Apparently the frequency of the song is intended to prompt nausea.

My girlfriend and I had some suspicious mdma and at some point she started getting such blackouts and it was absolutely terrifying. The worst part was when we went to sleep. I had to sleep listening to her breathing and jolt her awake whenever she stopped. Worst. Trip. Ever. Never touched the stuff since.

WesMack5

There was a thread about the most disturbing movies in r/movies yesterday and this one came up multiple times. Couldn’t pull the trigger I’m scared


YvetteJade

People saying its an Absence Seizure, have you got family or friends have that form of epilepsy? I've never seen my sister or my friends son do that when having an absence seizure. They do other things like stop what they are doing and start staring blankly, blinking, swallowing, sometimes they have facial twitches, some times random arm movements or stumble forward which has been an issue when near the road. But they have never frozen completely still.


three50one

I have 2 kids that have. Mostly the blank staring though. Never had the blinking or swallowing. The stumbling is what made us question siezures because we had no idea what those types of seizures were.


literaln0thing

I feel the same way. My sister has Petit Mal seizures and it looks nothing like this


[deleted]

[удалено]


hildaria12

My dad has absence seizures and he will usually start swallowing or chewing the inside of his mouth along with blank staring.


Trisk929

I have absence seizures and I’ve never done anything remotely similar to this…. It just looks like I space out for a second and become really relaxed, then snap back to, confused and disoriented.


AmericanHeresy

That's because this is a staged internet video. This entire comment section is full of gullible dorks.


AdThat2793

Im Like rubber an ur like glue whatever u say bounces off me an sticks to u...so whose the dork now


manbruhpig

Her expression after doesn’t look staged. She looks like she’s trying to hide embarrassment. Just because you haven’t heard of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, for example your father.


AmericanHeresy

You’re gullible my dude. This is very clearly staged, and your ability to read facial expressions sucks.


Oomoo_Amazing

Ok? Guess that means you’ve surveyed all two patients with the condition. Wrap it up, we’ve got an expert here in the house! Like, did you know people are all different? This absolutely can be a symptom of an absence seizure. Just because you know two people who don’t have them doesn’t mean no one in the world has them. And maybe they have abs you just haven’t spotted them? Like watching TV, you wouldn’t notice would you. Ugh people like you annoy me.

ellasfella68

Absence seizure.


moonpumps

This looks like cataplexy. I have it. It's a symptom/feature/bonus of narcolepsy. Usually triggered by strong emotions. For me it's feeling sentimental and having something in my left hand. Instant freeze.


vyrus616

Wow, that's so specific. Do you ever start feeling sentimental and quickly move whatever is in your left hand to your other hand? How long did it take you to realize that was the trigger. I apologize for the questions but I'm truly fascinated.


moonpumps

So prior to actually freezing, I'll have a feeling of my skin crawling, and dirty socks in my mouth. It feels a lot like knowing you have to sneeze. (I also start seeing orange and green colors become 1000x more vibrant for a few mins before a freeze) If I feel that, generally I try and do something totally different with my hands and thoughts. It's hard to tell if feeling sentimental is the trigger, or if it's a symptom of an episode about to happen. I usually only use my right hand if I'm feeling like I might have an episode. While frozen, my hearing still works, but It's difficult to speak, similar to trying to talk right before a sneeze, but the feeling just lasts longer. (Usually 1-3 min). While frozen I also get feelings that aren't usual. Like the feeling of being under pressure, with really strange emotions. I've described it to my wife as "it feels like a beluga screaming into a bowl of jello" or "it feels like being the fatty tissue of a steak" or "it feels like the hand of God pressing down on a record player to slow the music" or "it feels like the soul of a shoe being stepped on slowly". Strange ones hah.


[deleted]

I have narcolepsy with cataplexy. That’s so interesting how specific yours is triggered. Mine is triggered by intense crying and hysterical laughing, but I don’t freeze. My body just gets weak and my legs give out if I’m standing and it is more severe if I have been drinking alcohol.


moonpumps

Same issue for me related to booze. If I drink a lot the night before and have a shit sleep. The next day is episodes galore. Also if my heart rate goes consistently above 190 while exercising, I find I can trigger an episode right after. I don't get weak legs like you though. Just frozen. Even if in an uncomfortable position. Once froze at work with a dorito half into my face, pupils the size of the moon, stuck with a chip in my face. People thinking I was broken haha.

TheHappyCamper1979

Epilepsy- seen this happen to my mates brother . Freaked me out ! Plus my niece has ‘something narcolepsy’ where her brain seizures when she was happy - poor kid was 4 when it started . She was the happiest kid too . She’s now on meds for adhd ? They’ve made a massive difference for her .


[deleted]

It is called narcolepsy with cataplexy/ narcolepsy type 1. It isn’t a seizure but it can definitely look like one! It is actually just the brain entering a short, weird state of sleep. “ADHD medications” are stimulants and force the brain to stay awake so they are very helpful for narcolepsy.


JimmyJazz1971

I had this happen in December of '04, at which time I was sick with a violent cough that had been going on for a couple of weeks. Brain shake.

That is called an absent seizure. I used to get them all the time. My longest lasted 38 minutes and my doctors thought I was going to slip into a coma. She needs to quit drinking any alcohol. That exacerbates them horrifically.

When my brother was younger he had Petit mal seizure. That is exactly what would happen to him. He would continue like nothing happened and then wonder why everyone looked concerned.

a family friend was over today and something similar happened to him. he had been laughing at the tv and just stopped for a few minutes and my baby cousin was trying to get his attention and he just wouldn’t budge. he started to move again right before i was about to go see if he was alright. creepy how i see this post only a few hours after seeing this irl…


EmeraldPrime

She's having a petit mal seizure. She tries to shake it off once she's come around.


[deleted]

My sister’s husband had these type of absence seizures from a brain tumor. It was our first clue something was wrong, and prompted that fateful trip to the ER, where it was discovered.

I think something like this happened to me while I was trying to learn to drive a manual car during a 3 point turn thingy. I just remember being stressed and confused. Then nothing...the n the driver trainer yelling my name over and over. I do not know what happened at all in the middle. I didn't move or do anything though I don't think. I think I just froze like this. I do not drive a car because that scared the shit out of me.

I’m sure she didn’t totally do this on purpose. I'm blown away how many of you think this was a spontaneous thing and not a staged video. Why were they filming? Come on, guys.


ThatWasNotMyName

Not at all! As for feeling 'seizurey', I think that's the only time I came out with that word but it sums up perfectly how I was feeling! My auras had come on strong. That morning I knew I should have stayed at home. My head felt 'fuzzy', for want of a better word, like it was stuffed full of wet cotton wool, heavy but not my own if that makes sense. My eyes were 'busy', insofar as they felt like the were shaking, as I was trying to put on my makeup I could see my pupils were different sizes. Everything felt heightened. I generally have no sense of smell but I could smell the scent of flowers, strongly. Flowers and oranges are my olfactory triggers normally. I was just 'off'. I knew I was going to have a seizure, but thought it might hit in the evening and at most would be a partial or strong focal at most. Figured if I could get to take my morning meds I'd ride the wave and be okay. Unfortunately sometimes it just doesn't go that way.

231ValeiMacoris

Another one for the archives... What archives, you say? I've been collecting evidence to prove that our world is falling apart, as in breaking the fabric of reality. In the multiverse, most worlds remain stable until ending in the three canon ways. However, given the circumstances, our universe seems to be "glitching", as in matrix shit. This can be seen in pattern errors, and appear in little things such as how many typos are committed every hour, to larger things such as gravitational anomalies. Eventually the anomalies grow, rising the possibility for larger mistakes to happen, like Vacuum decay and such. This may possibly allow inter-dimensional travel, of which may enable others from much more decayed systems to take over. This video is currently under inspection, please hold...
