I don't know who told you health authorities found the practice safe - IT IS NOT!\n\nHealth Authorities ARE WARNING ITS A DANGEROUS THING TO DO!\nYou run the risk of death or living as a vegetable from brain damage when you screw up.., meaning someone will have to feed you, cloth you, clean you, you cant go and hang out with friends..., you have a non existent life.\n\nDO NOT RISK IT. Other kids who practice this will tell their friends that these warnings are just to get you to stop.\n\nAny time you shut off blood flow to the brain, there is a risk of death or brain damage.

I would ask a real doctor.\nNo offense people, but I'd hate for anyone in here to play doctor just because they stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once.

As a Christian with epilepsy, I'd like to have a say on this one.  There is definitely a difference between being filled with the Spirit and having a seizure.  \n\nFor one thing, being filled with the Spirit is a continuous thing that is always happening, and something that ALL believers exprience.  It is spiritual, and not physical.  \n\nFor another thing, with a Grand Mal seizure (the uncontrolled shaking), you actually don't experience anything since you are completely unconscious.  Religious charismatics who fall down shaking are not unconscious, and are aware of what they are experiencing.\n\nAs to people saying that having a seizure is a "religious" experience, well...it does feel pretty wierd.  These are the Petit Mal seizures we're talking about.  You're conscious when they happen, and might not even realize it is a seizure at all.  To those who don't really know God, it might seem like a spiritual experience.  But in truth, there is such a big difference between a seizure and an experience of a spiritual nature that they cannot be compared.\n\nHow a person (and their brain)responds to the the manifestations of the Spirit may look to scientists to be very similar as an epileptic seizure.  But that makes sense, since it is God who created the way the human brain works.  And whether having a seizure or experiencing a manifestation of the Spirit, we are still limited to our physical bodies.\n\nAs one with experience with both, I can tell you that even though a manifestation of the Spirit and an epileptic seizure may look the same, they are not.

I went through 39 years of medication and my seizures just getting worse. I started out with petit mal got complex partial, grand mal, and tried every seizure med possible. I finally went in for the brain surjery 6 years and never had another seizure. If you have the chance I would go for the surjery instead of trying all the medication I went through and losing my entire life.These doctors are very good and you need to give them a chance so you son can have his life back.

As it's been mentioned, people that are uneducated on epilepsy are basically just afraid of it.\n\nMy sister has JME and watching a full clonic/tonic seizure can be a scary experiance.\n\nWhat my sis does is educate the people around her on what it is and what to do. (Main point: Never, EVER shove something into someone's mouth that is having a seizure.)\n\nTalk to your friends.  They may be a bit distant at first, but once they realize it's really nothing that can harm them and that they can HELP you, they will be fine with it.\n\nBest of luck and never let it get you down!

I'm a R.N. It could be petit mal seizures.  These are small electrical impulses in the brain that are misfiring. It can be very serious. If you get headaches with it, it could be migraine headache auras.  See an opthamalagist or neurologist.

a seizure is a hereditary disease. there aare  many kinds, and two main ones are pettimal and grammal. pettimal is when your eyes roll up and you blank out unintensionally for a few seconds-min. the people who have them dont realize anythings wrong if they haven't had a EEG. grammal is the convulcious deadly kind and you are unconcious during them. pettimals can lead to these. there asre many more kinds. natural cures rarely happen if you dont take medicine. sometimes if you do, it goes away, sometimes it doesnt. any food that has potassium, especially bananas can help, not cure though. (sadly enough)

it is importain to be sleep deprived for the test. everything else should be done as you normally would do. the things they do during the test could possibly cause you to have a seizure...for example you'll have to do a breathing excersise which is basically hyperventilation and you'll do that for approximately 3-5 mins. theyll ask you to take a nap and seizures and interictal activity may show up then as well also they will put a strobe light in front of your eyes and blink it at different frequencies.\n\nthis test is noninvasive and the only thing that may affect your test would be some drugs like barbituates and other street drugs...caffeine will increase your beta waves but nothing significant and prescriptions like prozac will make fast eye movements show up on the test but all of that can be differentiated from epileptic activity\n\nthe epileptic activity they would be looking for may or may not show up. that would depend on what area of the brain the originate from. if you have experienced seizures in the past it is very importain to describe in detail how it began...like an aura (strange smells, seeing lights, strange feelings like intense deja vu or being unable to talk; even embarrasing auras like sexual feelings right before a seizure) this information will help with determining the area of the brain that the seizure comes from.\n\nthe only bad part of the test is that there will be a little bit of paste left in your hair the good thing is though it washes right out\n\ni hope this helps
