Hi All,

I've been posting recently about my miseries. Recently, I asked my mother what happens when I have a seizure. Both she and my father have witnessed a few of my seizures.

I drop my head, which clues them in on what's happening. At this point, they direct me to the sofa, and i sleep for 4-6 hours. If I begin seizing without any witnesses present, I don't know what happens first, except that, many times, I have found myself staring down at my desk.

I think I'm starting to put 2 and 2 together here. In December 2015, I had a concussion; since then, I've had seizures.

My question here is, who has had drop seizures (atonic), and how have your medical providers dealt with this? Until now, I've only reported to them my experience during and after my seizures. This information from my mother has shed new light on my seizure activity.

Thanks,
hydro
