Whenever I feel a seizure coming on,the thing I do is lay down on my bed or maybe even the floor.

The problem was that I couldn't tell when my seizure was going to happen. It just randomly happened...to me, it felt like I had fallen asleep.

Anyway, I got an MRI earlier, and they still could find nothing wrong with me. I have another appointment in a week with a neurologist, and hopefully they'll be able to make a diagnosis.

Kari,trust me,no one can tell when a seizure is going to happen,just be sure to lay down when you feel one come on.

There can be so many reasons... Connected with all those symptoms that you experienced even before the seizure. The safest is to "go over too much", since scans and doctors can oversee things. And I know people who didn't... And it turned out they had something really bad. And when finally they were forced to take care of it seriously, it was too late. Either they slowly decreased and decreased or faced the worst right away. You can cut the string too long but not too short.

Whatever you do, if you start feeling dizzy or anything SIT DOWN!!! After the first time I passed out it has kept me from doing it 10 more times. If it's really hot out drink lots of water and eat. BUt trust me, when feeling dizzy, the only way to make it go away is to just sit down and take it easy.

Yes...I know that I don't eat or drink as much as I should. Not only that, but it was really hot that day, which probably contributed to my dehydration. Anyway, thanks for the advice guys. The doctor actually doubted that I would have another seizure; he said that a lot of teenagers who have them never have them again. I don't know if he's right, or if he was being biased, but anyway, I'll be sure to drink more often.

Aniu_blade is right,I've had 3 seizures myself,I'm really a lucky guy.

I agree with tibb and Shadow, if you feel dizzy sit down, don't lie down though that can make things worse, also if it's hot don't drink fizzy stuff, drink water preferably if not cordial, I drank fizzy drink when it was hot once and ended up with heat stroke!! (not much fun)

If you're going to pass out, you will get a ringing in your ears. Then (I don't know if this happened to you), but once I had regained conciousness, I couldn't really see... There were all these little specks. But yes. Speak up! Make your younger sibling (if you have one) do things for you. Tis what i did.

Well, I didn't get a ringing in my ears until after I woke up. The doctor's didn't think that I was stable enough to drink on my own, so that's why they gave me the IVs, which worked well, but they did hurt a little.

IV's do hurt, specily if you are a tad dehydrated. If it gets too hot, jump in a pool. hehe.

Lucky! I couldn't remember what happened... well, I didn't even KNOW... and I thought my sis pushed me.

For me, it just kinda felt like I had fallen asleep. I didn't really know what happened until after I heard that ringing sound, and I almost immediately assumed that I had passed out, but I still had no idea that I had had a seizure. All I remember is that I was really tired and cold, but no one would let me "go back to sleep". I didn't think there was anything wrong with me at the time, since I just felt tired.

It felt like I had fallen asleep when I had my very first seizure,and the best thing that I do is lay down,and rest,then the feeling goes away,anywho,I'm glad that you're okay.
