Foot Rubbing

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­
Chadron, NE

Hey there! My daughter noticed that I rubbed my feet together. Well. I'm just kinda sitting there or spacing off. I have been noticing this the last couple of daysi'll just my attention. All the sudden goes to me rubbing my feet together. Is that an automatism?

Actually no that's not atuomatism, you're having absence seizures which is basically eye fluttering and spacing out. I have those a lot too.
