I know this is a common theme to TLE - I was just wondering, how many of you, during your seizures, have experienced this feeling, and how did it impact your life?
 
I get that feeling occasionally, usually during my nocturnal seizures when they wake me up.

The nirvana feeling really doesn't have an impact on my life..... it's just another seizure. The seizures, now they impact my life more than any emotion I might feel for a short period.
 
I experience something similar, on a rare basis. I always thought of it as "euphoria." It was extreme joy, and a feeling like I was plugged directly into god. I was rather disappointed when I learned it was a simple partial seizure.
 
I don't know if I'd call what I had a 'nirvana' feeling but I had a feeling of deja vu, like "whoah, did I do this already?"
 
those are seizures???..... i had one a while back at work im pretty sure. then a few wks ago i think?(my memory on exact times is terrible) i went into a laughing fit right before one... is that wut u mean? i feel a tad ignorant when u say nirvana.. could u explain it more?
