  1. Times used to be very Challenging,i had the worst days of my life living with Epilepsy,i appreciate you so much Dr Okubi,You have restored me my life that was lost already,All the pains are gone.

  2. My seizures got so bad and frequent that I underwent temporal lobe lobectomy in 2001. I am currently off my medications and I have a few seizures per year versus a few every week.

  3. I was a child with epilepsy. I have since grown out of them but now my grandchildren may be experiencing it and this video is helping me understanding more

  4. Some epileptics have no physical restraints (that all humans have) after a seizure. A man living in a mental institution broke the neck of a doctor in seconds without anyone being able to react. Of course in my country, epileptics get no treatment and are all degraded so it's not representation of all epileptics.

  5. That was an amazing video explanation! Although I knew my adult daughter has seizures we are trying to control with medication I had never seen her have one.
    Tonight while we were on FaceTime she had one. I was driving and pulled over to reassure her. She was home alone. It didn’t last long but was very scary to watch and feel helpless.

    She had a brain tumor removed 8 yrs ago. They are thinking the scar tissue may have something to do with the seizures.
    We have more doctor appointments coming up soon.
    I would hope we can get more education out there. It worries me that she would be alone in public and someone would think she was a drug addict seizing due to the prevalence of that culture in our town.
    She is so embarrassed after having one on the job that she took leave from work.
