I've seen a lot of people who try to fake seizures, usually they shut up when ask them where their medical ID tag is stating they have epilepsy and then point to the one around my neck.<br /><br />However, I really hope I don't have you as a nurse when I am having a seizure. I'm epileptic and my postictal periods are usually very short (seconds). They are only long (minutes) if I am very, very sick and threw up my medications, then seized. I've also never lost bladder/bowel control in any of the 13 years I've had epilepsy. <br /><br />Not to say that the person wasn't faking it, since they probably were, but some of us really do act like that during a seizure.Melnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-79863157521289640512011-10-17T23:16:02.581-05:002011-10-17T23:16:02.581-05:00You forgot to tell them how many times a good seiz...You forgot to tell them how many times a good seizure also means that they lost bowel/bladder control as well.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075697799314683882noreply@blogger.com
