How To Put Into Words What You Experience During A Seizure.
Morning everyone. I was just wondering if anyone else has trouble describing their seizures. I keep a diary of my seizures for my epilepsy nurse.

I agree with most here, don't worry about how it sounds. If you're only keeping it for medical people than they will have an understanding.

I just always feel like what I say almost sounds stupid. It's just so hard to explain in a way that someone would understand. That's why i never told a soul about it when I was a child as I just thought I was weird. Everytime I have a seizure I forget how strong the feelings and bizarre auras are.
From what I have been reading on this site it is different for every person. Mine are very hard to describe. I do get a metallic taste and must sit. What is scary for me is that it feels like my body is going to shut down.
