I signed up mainly just to help you get your forum started, but I do have a useful comment to make about epilepsy.
(I had a few grand mal seizures myself, many years ago, caused by a medication presecribed for something completely unrelated, and I've seen how people react after my seizures, and I've seen other people's seizures, but none of that has anything to do with the story.)
I once talked to a woman who had a grand mal seizure which caused her to give birth, in an ordinary hospital bed. I know that it sounds unbelievable, but she insisted that the baby shot out of her and might have been badly hurt, had her husband not caught the baby. The doctors assumed that what actually caused the seizure was the breathing exercises she had been taught to do, and said that women with a history of grand mal should take this into account.
I knew the woman, and I'm sure that the story was true.
Thanks.
Me.
