Hello,
I too have experienced a brain siezure, 4 years ago.
Fortunately, I was already admitted in hospital due to a brain haemorrhage, when it happened.
Apparently, I was thrashing about like a fish out of water, so I guess it’s like an epileptic fit.
Best,
JP

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I was at home but fortunately not alone when it happened. CT was clear although one of the blood tests was abnormal. Awaiting MRI and “first seizure” clinic appointment now x
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately it has been confirmed as a grand Mal (tonic clinic) seizure. Just need to find out why it happened now and pray it never happens again x
Hi again,
I suppose there are various reasons that cause brain seizure.
I have ITP blood disorder now. I’m not going to say which MS treatment I had a really bad reaction to, let’s just say all medicines have side effects; for some patients it works out well and for others not so well.
Best regards,
JP
