When I saw the word "seizure" on front page I couldn't help to comment. I am also passing through the whole ordeal of one that's epileptic. mine is nocturnal epilepsy(meaning it happens when I'm asleep or half asleep), but it is one of the most dangerous. My story is long.. But I want anyone reading this to encourage anyone passing through it. I am very close to Jesus (not ashamed to cry it loud) and that as helped me alot.. I finally got the required drugs for me and I have been seizure free for 1 year. Talk about suicide, talk about depression, I passed through all of this for close 10 years. I am young and very good looking and brilliant, that you won't have an idea that I pass through this. It almost terminated my life but thank God. Please it is not infectious. I got mine from an head injury when I was much younger. Op, God bless you for helping that fellow. My drugs is on the high side but thank God for his provision. Would have typed more but I have to run to bible study. God bless 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: What To Do When Someone Has A Seizure(pics) by Nobody: 6:40pm On Nov 30, 2015 |
We witnessed sth similar when we(my husband,I and our kids) visited my mum. We were indoors when suddenly we heard a noise outside. We out to the balcony and saw that a man was having seizures. No body dared to go close to him. Suddenly my younger sister just ran into the kitchen,sliced some onions,sqeezed the juice out and also plucked an aloe Vera leaf. My mum called her back because she felt it was contagious,but my sister ignored every one. When she got where the man was lying,she rubbed the onion juice and aloevera on his face,immediately he sneezed and regained himself. People were amazed at my sister's bravery. Even my husband and other men who witnessed it couldn't go close. 4 Likes |

njays24: Op can you throw more light on the use of garlic and onion juice as stated above. This method seems better than waiting for them to recover. As for the NGO, you can start by creating a fb group and call on Nlanders to join. I will be interested in it. |

Nice one OP, kindly share with the house the cause(s) of this, and how to avoid/ reduce it occurrence |

Caracta: It is really disheartening to find oneself in that helpless situation. Sister, try and buy the drug called "Tegra" for the person. It is an anti seizure drug And it must be taken daily. This will surely prevent the frequent occurence of the seizure. 1 Like |

If it was Warapa ( epilepsy), it curable traditionally. We Africans especially Nigeria seems to have traditional solution to most of the problem we face. But, we have left our forefather's heritage to embrace the white man religion. am not saying the white man religion is not good, even myself I accepted this religion but that does not makes me forget my fore father's religion especially those that are beneficial. I would have love to post here the traditional ingredients to cure warapa( epilepsy). but this is public view. |

Caracta: Sorry about your friend. She should be on daily medications. Hope she's seeing a neurologist on appointment basis at the clinic. This is to review her medication and change them if they're not having the desired effect. Goodluck to her 1 Like |

I suffer from from seizure disorder....... I see my doctor regularly and av learnt to notice d symptoms so I can avoid it. I don't stress myself and I stay away from cold. I take antimalarial regularly...... I thank God for my family and few friends who stood by me when it all started. Honestly its nt an easy ailment to manage,dew were times wen I convulsed in church and even in d lecture room, I used to b so ashamed. But now I never miss my drugs and wen I get to a new environment I try to let at least one person know abt my condition. I know I will overcome! As for fast remedy I dad squeezes onions juice into my nostrils and even says I should eat as much as I can but am not faithful in dt sha......... 5 Likes |

There is this girl in my school. I Was her class Teacher sometimes ago. Her mum said she had convulsion when she was a baby, she lost the functioning of her legs, hands, ears and couldn't speak. Thank God, she could speak and hear now but she limps and the hand is stiff. Also, she doesn't have memory, she forgets things immediately and suffers the seizure often. I wish I could help her, she is really a sweet girl 1 Like |

This life is very terrible, deceitful and irrational. You lost past,present and future friendship due this unpredictable and inexplicable illness called seizure, it's just nonsensical, "absurdical" and infact worthless to value this transitory path one bit. Many would have gone far, but get held back due to this type of sickness. Anyway where are we going to since everyone will surely part this worthless life some day. I feel deeply pained each time I visit village and see my childhood friend, Alhassan who's still alive with fresh wounds on his face. My mother stopped me from going to their house when I was little, he lost the closeness of us at tender age and also his only adult female friend, one of the daughters of our former President who never knew he had it ab initio Guys enjoy yourself, but never wish even your enemy a devastating thing like seizure |

Thank you Op! I have a younger sister that was recently diagnosed with seizure disorder! It's can be scary but never run away when you find yourself in OP position |

Caracta: Thank you. I already felt your hug.. My story is so touching.. It bring tears to close ones around. Epilepsy is a scourge, a disability that will likely take away your self esteem and even your life if you are not careful. Once I get my footing, I will spend my life helping people passing through this stigma and ofcourse talk about my loving Jesus. I am that brillant fellow in the engineering faculty people know about as being witty and to himself. Good looking but relationship issues is far from his side (despite not been too close to God then).. Did well in school, was on scholarship. Went further for an MSc in the states then the seizure kicked in. Note that the seizure never attacked me doing my undergrad except for some disorder or migrane.. I almost did not complete my Msc cos of the seizure. I have thought about the fastest/painless poison killer but anytime that thought comes my mum face shows up. I was even ready to make hell but the love of God has for me is so immeasurable. I have watched friends gave up on me. Relationship gone down the drain. Hope lost. Oh my heart bleeds just recalling having those episode. At times it can be twice a week. Was this it I asked? I hated life. I cursed myself and wept bitterly on my pillow every night. My memory was going numb. My academics was shaking. My thesis prof broke my heart when he said " my effort induce sympathy" so as to accredit my research. Oh, how did I stoop so low? How did I lose life dignity? It is a year back and I still feel it as though it was yesterday. If not for Jesus, I would have taking my life like a childhood friend. I am not better than him but christ just love me. Please I beg you. Stretch out an helping hands to anyone passing through this tumultuous event. Please I plead. A poem to sum it. When my space is beclouded with so great sorrow and grief When hope is lost in abysmal And joy is alien to my existent When I cry tears so salty My mucus stream through my mouth When I search for succumb Only to realized I just had another seizure Oh what unjustifiable pain Oh what spear thrust to my heart I craved death solace But I guess that was not the means Now, I look back So indebted and timid How did I pass through this valley How did I see this light at close of road end It was no other But that loving and compassionate friend That being where love emanate No other but Christ Jesus 10 Likes 4 Shares |

adrelanine: Ummm please I would suggest that epileptic patients take controlled doses of cannabis(Marijuana)). It contains a substance called "cannabidiol" or CBD which is used to treat neurological disorders. Hence its regarded as "Medical Marijuana" and is legalized in some countries. CBD reduces seizures by 50% according to research, and posesses little or no side effects.
