What moron would want to fake a seizure. It's enough going through the real thing & can cause enough issues. But if you're faking it, you are only trying to mimic the physical, who would want to experience the other aspects.

Seizures are awful whether they are big or little !! A hand tremor and you have to stop cut veggies for cooking or a Gran mal thank god I hav'nt had one in years. the idea of faking it is ludicrous .. ericthom3

Many times people may think we are faking it to get Attention, earn the person or people’s empathy and sympathy.

Someone would have to be a very good actor to fake a seizure.

Who wants to fake a seizure? Unless you are trying to get out of something.

easy... (storytime) i had kid seizures... 4 types in 1 seizure (in order)... sence i was 6. in high school... there is a evalve iq sorta test (to gradeuate). i didn't study for the final testing (idk what testing that was). so i fake a partial when i was in the beining. i had to retake the test tomorrow. the kicker... tomorrow came and i was all set (studied my butt off) and had a bad seizure before the test. i passed but just barely. moral of the story... don't fake it cause karma will get you and sometime 2 folds.
as other people saying you are fakeing it... that is them knowing so little about epilepsy or your epilepsy. so thay make up stuff.
