Can Anyone Else Hear Everything But Not React To Others During A Focal?

San Antonio, TX

I'll have a focal seizure but I am able to react and hear and sometimes see everything. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes this happens. I’m glad that it has been awhile since I’ve experienced it - but man, trying to explain this to other people is difficult.

Yes! I find others think I'm checked out. They do not understand, first I wouldn't do that. Second it's not controllable.

Most episodes I am just lost and have no idea what happened. Just come to stiff and terrible headache. Want to crawl in bed in dark room stay there for a day or so
