In 2008 my, 4 years ago, my son had his first seizure. I did not understand what was going on because this has never happened before. He was 8 years old at this time. I was combing his hair, getting ready for school. I thought he was pulling away from me like he always does and before you know it he slumped into the door and feel to the floor with his eyes rolling back in his head and body stiff and slight small jerking motions. Along with this he complained of a stomach ache and vomited, then he had another as he was vomiting. He had 2 in a row that lasted 30 seconds or less. He had no memory of having this, what looked like, a seizure to me. We went to the ER and everything checked out. He did have a very slight fever. Docs thought it was fever induced. We got set up with a neurologist and had an EEG done. They found no epileptic seizure activity. He went a year and one month later without having another and then had another with same symptoms and again 2 that day minutes apart. Not understanding this, I felt like he was dying. It was very scary.

My eleven-month-old baby girl suddenly started shaking both arms and was unconscious for about two minutes.

My daughter is eight years old and has had this episode twice. The first time, her teeth clamped together and she could not swallow and water was pouring out of her mouth. She looked like she might have been having a stroke. The second episode, her jaw was jerking and she was grinding her teeth.

When my son had a seizure, he had a had a bowel movement and urinated. He was also lethargic and lost his balance.

When my child had a seizure, she made a lot of noise and was screaming.

The child was unresponsive, although we were calling his name. He could not respond. He was spastic, and then suddenly he came back to himself. He also had persistent blinking of the eyes.

When my child has seizures, she experiences fixed staring, and sometimes she passes out and stops breathing.

My child experienced lethargic, uncontrolled hand movements and lip licking.

My daughter was asking for a drink. She then lay down on the floor and started to curl into a ball with her eyes rolling back. She started turning blue with saliva coming out of her mouth. When it was over after a few minutes, she was crying, then she slept all day.

My grandchild is 18 months old. After the seizure, he sweated alot but it lasted 15 minutes.

At eighteen months, my daughter had the first seizure on vacation after a horrific three days of travel. This was followed 45 minutes later by another seizure in the hospital ER as they attempted to draw blood and a third one several hours later in the room. Each lasted about two minutes. Her eyes rolled upward and she jerked slightly. Afterwards, she went to sleep. CAT scan, MRI and two EEG's showed nothing wrong. There were no seizures for three months. Then after two days of stomach virus, she had another seizure, followed by another one in the ER as they tried to draw blood. These first lasted a minute or less but were similar to the previous ones.

My daughter is 8 yrs old. She has what appears to be seizures and is on medication for treatment. I am baffled by the fact that every seizure is brought on by over stimulation or excitement, I can see them starting and if I take her hands and tell her to just relax...we can avoid them. Also when she recovers after one and they usually only last about a minute, she is not sleepy and wants to immediately go back to what she was doing.

My daughter blinks her eyes a lot prior to a seizure. She is only three years old. She is having them one after the other.
