Hi again. The feelings are very hard to describe. I have several hundred simple partial seizures a year, am a well-educated, articulate man, and still have not found a really adequate way to describe how they feel. I think most of us here on the board would be in the same situation. This type of seizure has elements of "normal" experiences, (a coldness, a sort of adrenaline rush, a rising feeling, a breathlessness, a cold sweat, an unreal feeling, a twisting of reality, and on and on) but the combination is such that describing it is nearly impossible. I can't think of a good analogy for that, but it might be like trying to describe a color to someone. Does that make sense? Also, I imagine that our seizures probably feel a little different to all of us, but we know there are enough commonalities to understand how they feel. In the poetry area many of us have shared poems which attempt to describe the seizure experience, which might be helpful to you in trying to get an idea of what your son is feeling, and perhaps help him put those feelings into words, if that is important to him.
Well, I gotta get to work, but your son is not alone, and neither are you! We will help you as much as we can.
