Welcome to the site @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member .
I’ve had seizures in public , many accountable times ( too many to count ) in public. When I was younger it was embarrassing, seizuring in public . But after this happened so many times , I got sick of feeling embarrassed 😞 , so I started to ignore being stared at in public . When coming out of my seizures, I would ignore the Stranger Eyes , staring at me . I would then get back on my feet wipe myself off and then go about my business.

But I’m always grateful, when someone truly comes to me, showing they care and want to help, after coming out from the seizures.

I have had a seizure in public at a church I previously attended. Also, I had a couple at a previous job I worked at. When I have had them then medical attention has been sought out for me. I have been treated fairly well. As I got older, then I have felt them coming on and have let my family and friends know. I am aware of what things give me seizure reactions and try to be very careful.

I had a lot of seizures in public. I just hoped I didn't end up in an ambulance.

Yes, many times, and when I was still working they stopped letting me work because of that. At first I had warnings but the further I went the less warnings I got and the worse the seizures were getting. Before my surgery I was on 6 medicines and the VNS and I was still having them at least one a month.

Lost count of how many in public in 52 years. Even a severe drop down type always fine after. Relax during partials remind self will pass not get upset. Assure self fine after to ease mind bout future ones. ALs answer- scary + dangerous is wrong way to think of seizures. Modern way is clear minds of needless fear to handle seizures the smart way.
