Hi Tim. I'm 25 and have lived with temporal lobe epilepsy all my life. I have a variety of seizures (partial, complex partial, and tonic clonic). When I have a partial seizure (just an aura), I manage to stay conscious and somewhat responsive, but when I have complex partial or tonic clonic seizures, I become totally unresponsive. I don't think you can talk yourself or someone can talk you out of having a seizure. It's just the luck of the draw on what kind of seizure it will be. Perhaps she just had a partial seizure and managed to stay with it.

Tristin :)

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?
