Hi something - welcome to our friendly group.
I don't think that is common. Perhaps with a Psychogenic seizure you might be able to snap them out of one, but even with that type, it is the brain in control.
I have read where somepeople talk gently with the person having the seizure, and afterwards the person says they have been able to hear the comforting words, but not be able to respond to them. I guess it is possible to shortchange a seizure event.
I do not put anything past this disorder. It is nutty and obnoxious, and has a complete mind of its own.
Do you want to share your story?
My wife Renee has 'disturbed' my seizures by talking to me...changing the level of severity.
When I was much younger I had petit mal in which I could hear my parents but could not talk to them.
Epilepsy = enigma.

I am wondering if it is usual to be able to awake someone by constent noices, pinching etc. someone who just started having the seizures?
