There are a few things out there. They don't so much predict but they can help catching the seizure and slowing it down . A Service Dog can sense when the person is about go into one. The VNS implant and a few other surgical implants can help slow the chances of seizures down. Then there is the Embrace watch that alerts you about the seizure.

Thank you so much Randy, just so difficult to find a service dog or the watches in SA. Will check out the VNS implant!

Hi Christopher...if it is a full blown seizure and your child goes unconcious then it is a trauma!! such a horrible thing to see and feel helpless...

A seizure, is a seizure. Not a fit. Calling a seizure, a fit. Makes it sound like, anyone who has seizures', is nothing but a petulant little child having a temper tantrum.
