This is how my fiance has described them...

Usually I pass out before hand. I do know I get a feeling of fear just before I black out. My breathing gets heavy and then my body will start to stiffen and shake. It is usually my right leg and both arms. I do have my eyes open sometimes, but its like I am completely spaced out. I stop breathing on and off through the seizures. I have no idea how long they last and he doesn't keep track. When I come to I am very scared and can't talk and a lot of times I can't really see when I first come to. My fiance is really good, he takes my hand and holds it and talks to me. I can usually nod and once I fully come to I can sign for water which is his sign knowing I am done although I usually still can't talk for 5-10 mins.

My seizures unfortunately started again today and i was home alone for most of them. I experienced my first concious seizures and it was really painful. I was very relieved when my fiance got home.
 
I had no idea what to put for the prefix thing...also I forgot to say before I come to from the seizures I usually am not breathing.
 
When u came out of it when were alone did u freak out or were u calm.b/c I have those seizures sometimes majority of time I pass out when I dont get real scared and have memory issues and normally get hurt cause I panick and ur fiance needs to start timing or recording cause of non breathing factor my wife does when she is home.
 
It is fine I understand. I always freak out when I come out of one though. I don't know why I am so scared, but its probably just part of the seizures affect. I will tell him to start timing them. When is 911 supposed to be called? That might be a good thing to know.
 
If it last longer than 5 minutes or in ur situation a fall normally its hitting ur head but u with baby.lol
