I can sometimes do it should it be a mini seizure but not if it is a Grand Mal. Those ones come on crash bang
out of the blue with no warning at all. I know you can help someone who is going into a seizure by gently
talking to them quietly and having a conversation with them as if they were awake. This sometimes helps with
the cluster seizures so instead of having a dozen of them in a row they only have one or two and you can see
them getting weaker and weaker.

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.

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?
