It's dif per person, but after 51 and half yrs of having them, I myself know what is going on with me and my condition I have, there are some I know about and happen, I have general seizures, grand mal,petti mal, nocturnal ones and abscent seizures, for the most part I know what happened, but there's a few of them I have no idea and I wonder if I did have one, but over the years they are more stable than they were before, I am ok with that and so is my doc, a plus in my opinion and the medical field etc is making a progress in trying to find a cure for, my opinion here

I’ve had seizures for over 30 years and I’ve never had a clue when I had a seizure either without someone telling me.

I don't know when I have a seizure(s). Either my wife or stepdaughter tell me when I have had one, so can tell my doctors( primary & neurologist) my next appointment.

I tell people that if I’m having a seizure and they don’t believe it to pinch me. I feel nothing when having a seizure so when I don’t react to the pinch I’m obviously out (having a seizure).

I can tell when one is coming on but it's been 45 years for me
