Hi car,
Do you remember before, after or during your seizures. If you are awake during your seizures, then it is not a true epileptic seizure. What kind of seizures do you have?
The first tonic-clonic I recall, was when I was 11yrs.-old(1978, I remember my age because my mother, younger brother n' I had just moved back to the US from the UK). When it started, I was in the living room doing nothing particular, when I suddenly started having a tonic-clonic seizure. The living room in the house my mother was renting, had an iron 'Franklin stove' in the living room that had a brick base and backing to absorb the heat from the stove. When I was in the midst of the seizure, I remember worrying about possibly hitting my head on the brick base of the 'Franklin stove'. As this was happening, my younger brother(9yrs.-old at the time) saw me and started screaming for my mother. My mother ran into the living room from the kitchen and got between me and the stove to keep me from hitting my head on the bricks. I didn't hit my head on the bricks, but I was definitely exhausted when it was over.
The second one that I definitely recall, was when I was 28yrs.-old(1995). I had already been married for a little less than three years at that point. I had told my (ex)wife about my E and what she needed to do, were I to suddenly start having a seizure. I woke up one morning and started to have a seizure in bed. The bed was a platform waterbed with an oak frame and headboard. When I started having a seizure, my (ex)wife jumped out of bed and just stared at me. She didn't even try to keep me from potentially hitting my head on the headboard, or falling out of bed. She left me two years later(I divorced her in 2000), only to tell me a year later(1998) that she had always "wished your disabilities would have just gone away". After that seizure, I felt like I had been run over by a truck.
The third one that I definitely recall, was when I was 35yrs.-old(2002). I was engaged again, after having been divorced for two years and I was in a government services office sitting in line with a couple other people and my (ex)fiance. As I was sitting there in line waiting, I started to feel 'funny'. That 'funny' feeling suddenly progressed into a tonic-clonic seizure. My (ex)fiance despite having been horribly abused as a child and diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder Type II, remained calm and kept me from falling on the floor. I could see what was happening, but I could do nothing about it. Also, At the end of it, I felt like I was 'run over by a truck'.
The fourth one that I definitely recall, was when I was 38yrs.-old(2005). Still engaged, my fiance n' I were living together by this time. I had been sitting on the living room couch when I started to have a strange feeling. All of a sudden, I started to have a tonic-clonic seizure on the couch. started feeling my body shake uncontrollably even though I could see what was going on. My (ex)fiance ran over to the couch from the kitchen to make sure I didn't hit the floor. I managed to stay on the couch, but I had the 'truck' feeling again.
My (ex)fiance made me feel that my (ex)wife was a really ignorant idiot about life in general.
