  1. I've never known what parents with a child that has epilepsy feel, because my mom never tells me. This video is one that I can relate to because I have epilepsy too, but my doctors still have no clue why. I started having seizures when I was about 4 months old, and it took 3 years to find a medication that actually reduced the amount of seizures I had a day. Now I have about 6-8 seizures instead of 15-20 a day. You were pretty close to what I feel like before I have a seizure. When I have absence seizures or drop seizures I don't feel anything but before a big seizure like tonic clonic seizure I normally get dizzy and taste a chemical taste. My brain also gets mixed up and fuzzy, and sometimes I don't think to sit down and I fall. I can feel it for quite a few seconds before it happens, but I can't stop it. I panic every time it happens. I don't always remember the seconds before I have a seizure but sometimes I do.

  2. I just had a seizure 4 days ago. Ive never had epilepsy or anything like it before so i still have no idea where it came from. It was weird because it was like the most confusing experience but i couldnt even question what was going on.

  3. I'm troubled by how little epilepsy research has done to help people like Raelynn. The meds don't give complete seizure cessation and the side effects are horrible.
    Hoping that we'll develop or discover better treatments someday.
    I've had 3 atonic/myoclonic seizures.

  8. My cousin had horrible seizures 😭 I'm so sorry she goes through this but has two amazing parents to care for her, can I ask without sounding harsh do you stay home and one of you works? Do you have any support? πŸ’—

  9. Thank God for advocates like you! Tonight I found your channel and I'm so impressed! I have seen many children, adults, a dog, and a little kitten who died during a seizure in my arms. There needs to be more awareness and you are helping that to happen. LOVE and PRAYERS ALWAYS from Gainesville Florida.β€πŸ™πŸ˜ŠπŸ™β€

  11. Ahh the mouth clicking noise triggers me a bit haha! Off topic i know but oh well. Lovely Raelyn. Such a sweet little poppet. I have epilepsy and all of my 7 seizures have been Tonic Clonic (Grand Mal), and i was unconscious for each one, i come round with a feeling of pure dread, terror. Also sometimes ive wet myself. Its horrible to see i can imagine and i would never want to see what i look like during one. Oh also, sometimes when i come round, i lose my memory. So i can come round, stand up off the floor, feel confused for a minute… Then carry on with what i was doing, but with this feeling something isn't quite right, which builds and builds til my memory fully comes back, usually about 30 mins to an hour it takes id say. Just so weird!
