More if not all about Epliespy.

 Eliespy is a health condition, which is a sudden rush of electricity to the brain, which causes people who face Epliespy different types of seizures.  Epilepsy is a strange condition and no one knows why. Everyone faces it differently. If you have faced it all your life, on and off in your life, or most of your life, you will know it has a mind of its own but someone else who faces it most likely faces it the same as you. 

Those who have faced it similar to myself if not the same I guess wouldn't be surprised to know the type of seizures you face can change but not necessarily in everyone's case. When they came back in my adult years from when I was 31 to 43. They became simple Patical seizures. Like I said in my last post on this website if not treated in most cases if not all cases of Epilepsy can be a life risk but there never has and really still isn't a great deal of treatment only medication, medicines, etc. However' I have heard in the last 10 to 15 years or so there is an operation but how successful or unsuccessful it is I have no idea. 

  • alterations to a sense of taste, smell, sight, hearing, or touch
  • dizziness
  • tingling and twitching of limbs

 From what my family told me about when I was a baby and young child, I either had them in the night and woke up with a wet bed or pretty much have what was back in then in the 70s as Petty Mal. 

Seizures into two different types Generalized seizures which harm all the brain.  Focal and Partial that harm one part of the brain. 

It is hard to notice in those who face mild seizures, which may only last a few seconds, which was known as Petty Mal years ago, absence seizures I think maybe the word for them these days, which is the sort I had pretty much most of my childhood. This is where you go black and unresponsive,  performing repetitive movements. Back then they called them petty mal. You lose consciousness and awareness of what is going on around you.   


Generalized seizures are more major where people can lose consciousness and awareness. They include different types of seizures where I guess people can lose control of their muscles etc and even suddenly full. 


Generalized seizures involve the whole brain. There are six types:

Absence seizures, which used to be called “petit mal seizures,” cause a blank stare. This type of seizure may also cause repetitive movements like lip smacking or blinking. There’s also usually a short loss of awareness, which is about the mildest form of Epilepsy.

Tonic seizures cause muscle stiffness.

Atonic seizures lead to loss of muscle control and can make you fall down suddenly.

Clonic seizures are characterized by repeated, jerky muscle movements of the face, neck, and arms.

Myoclonic seizures cause spontaneous quick twitching of the arms and legs.

Tonic-clonic seizures used to be called “grand mal seizures.” Symptoms include:

  • stiffening of the body
  • shaking
  • loss of bladder or bowel control
  • biting of the tongue
  • loss of consciousness

Following a seizure, you may not remember having one, or you might feel slightly ill for a few hours. https://www.healthline.com/health/living-with-epilepsy
