T/C & still awake??

[petero]

I guess i was pretty out of it but I was still aware it was a seizure because i was not in control of my movements.

anything goes

the good ol' EEG is a way to be sure

Thing is, that's EXACTLY what happened though. I certainly couldn't have (intelligibly) said anything, even if someone would've been around. That's what got me starting this thread. I just think it's weird to say the least given what's always happened before as far as remembering starting to fall but never remember hitting the floor and the "usual" rest of it I'm always told about. But I was fully conscious & alert but as usual couldn't of course control my movements or breathing.....that was the scariest part! Even after I wake up it always feels like there's a 50# weight on my chest not letting me get a full breath of air feeling like I'm suffocating. THAT scares the heck out of me!
(Now....if this quote comes out right this time. I always end up doing it backwards.)

well, that's the thing though - with no one around to corroborate your perspective of events, there's not any assurance that what you were perceiving is what was really happening.

but there's lucid dreaming - and hypnosis - and ... I have no real viewpoint on epileptology other than what I've experienced, and read about...

I'm not a Neurologist.

I think it is possible, but I think your perspective is what would be altered because of the seizure. The seizure may be active in a wavelength that lucid dreaming is active in, along with consciousness... I have no idea.

If you say that's how your seizures are, then I can only guess that that's how they are.

NOT a tonic clonic seizure; whatever seizure happened that night wouldn't have been a t.c.
there are over 40 types (which i would assume you know if you research endlessly) and a few cause the inability to talk, mainly simple and partial seizures (which may or not lead to a tonic clonic).
a t.c. goes alot further than 'intelligibly' being able to say anything (as 'simple' as a simple partial can cause that).... but with a tonic clonic you're not able to say anything AT ALL b/c you're unconscious.
i'm not sure how to be more specific than that jane, and suggest you do investigate seizures quite a bit more before convincing yourself that is what happened.

>>>>and btw @jane, the "quotes" around the quote are:
"QUOTE=qtowngirl;249088" precedes the text, but [] replacing the ""
and "/QUOTE" replacing the "" with []

HTML phrasing needs to have a [beginning command] and the text that the command wraps around followed by a [/ beginning command]
the "/" in HTML means "stop" and [] wraps all of the commands<<<<

@Qtowngirl
what do you think of my interpretation as a seizure taking place in a "lucid dream" area/frequency of the brain?
I was thinking there could be a seizure having an "awake" type of sensation in the sensation of the seizure itself?
Waking up thinking "I was just experiencing a seizure!" when that's not the fact at all - but the seizure "aftershocks" going through a lucidity sensation itself?

I recall often having a sensation of urgency upon waking after a t-c. I wonder if it's plausible to have a sensation of "I know what is going on because I was aware, lucid" upon gaining levels of consciousness back after a seizure, even after a partial of some sort?

just doing my part to muddle things a bit

I've had a tonic-clonic and been conscious it's happened to me a few times.
I could hear, see eveything going on around. I just couldn't say anything. When I told my doctor about it I don't remember exactly what my doc called it.
