[epilepsy] Have you yourself or someone else talked you out of a seizure?

I am on this list because of my daughter Dani, age 23, has epilepsy.

Today, on day 3 of her 4 week voc rehab work experience placement, Dani had a moderate seizure with drooling and lack of attention She was out late last night baby sitting and didn't get enough sleep. That was her first bigger seizure since 10/08 on the plane to Italy.

She told the on-site voc rehab staffer she "talked herself out of it" keeping it from getting worse. She wasn't able to get back into the work assignment at the florist (Sounds like a cover story to me).

A good friend of mine has mostly night time seizures. He knows when they are coming on and tells his wife who actually talks himself out of most of them.

Anyone else have similar experiences? What works?
