hi welcome to CWE. :hello: I went over your history in your previous post. You did have a tonic clonic. Seizures can be broadly classified as simple or complex and generalised or partial. Simple seizures are when you do not lose consciousness. Complex ones are when you do. Generalised seizures originate all over the whole of your brain and partial ones originate only a part of it , for example you may notice only your arm or leg shaking (hence the older term , focal seizures , ie seizures coming from a single focus). Some seizures start as partials and secondarily generalise , ie , your arm will shake and then the shaking spreads to the rest of your body. In some classical cases , the shaking starts in your hand , then your face then the rest of your body. This is called a "jacksonian march".
Tonic-clonic seizures involve an initial rigid contraction of the muscles (called the tonic phase) which may involve tongue biting, urinary incontinence and the absence of breathing(hence your going purple). This is followed by rhythmic muscle contractions (clonic phase) which is what resulted in you jerking all over. Some people (like me) get absence seizures and myoclonic seizures. in absence seizures , you blank out and stare for a maximum of 30 seconds and then regain your flow. It can even happen in mid sentence.If one were to watch you having an absence seizure they would think you were daydreaming. In myoclonus , one part of your body jerks suddenly and you regain control almost instantly(involve an extremely brief (< 0.1 second) muscle contraction.). People with atonic seizures (your body stays upright when you stand because of the inherent muscle tone in your legs) usually have " drop attacks" when their legs give way .
There are two types of continuous seizure - status epilepticus and epilepsia partialis continua. Status epilepticus is when you have continuous seizure activity or sequential seizures for more than 30 minutes. IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU SOMEONE SHOULD CALL 911 AFTER 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.epilepsia partialis continua happens when a partial seizure continues or happens sequentially for days or weeks. It can be a sign of stroke.
Hope i've been of help.
