However it can block your airway so it might be good to gently ease the person onto his/her side so the tongue will fall away from the throat.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916520510176931.post-2488522825679123072016-11-26T17:15:31.313-05:002016-11-26T17:15:31.313-05:00I have epilepsy so I understand what you mean abou...I have epilepsy so I understand what you mean about the stupid questions. I realize that they are trying to assess your condition but they do not understand what has just happened to your nervous system. If I may I would like to inform people about what should be done if a person has a seizure.<br />1. Make sure he/she cannot fall of bump into something or otherwise injure him/herself.<br /><br />2. Do not try to insert anything into the mouth. You can cause injury. And never use your fingers. A person having a seizure could bite them off when their teeth clench.<br /><br />3. As soon as the person is conscious say, "This is (use your name). You just had a seizure.<br /><br />4. Let the person know that he/she needs to rest. Make sure they are warm and comfortable and keep an eye on them in case of another seizure.<br /><br />5. If a seizure lasts more than a couple of minutes or if the person has multiple seizures get them to a hospital.<br /><br />What happens to the nervous system during a seizure sort of scrambles the nerve impulse centers. The brain and nerves need to retrace themselves. That is why you couldn't remember things that you would normally know. Better questions might have been "What is your name?', "Do you know where you are?', and the ever simple "How many fingers am I holding up?". <br />Because of my personal experience and extensive research I have done I feel as if I am an expert. I do know more than many doctors on the subject. In medical school seizures are one of many subjects that are mentioned but not explored.<br />Good luck. And tell your wife to protect herself if she feels she must but to try not to be afraid and be ready to follow the steps when the seizure is over.<br />P.S. I once forgot I had a baby and scared my husband half to death.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916520510176931.post-23912846273275131822016-11-26T15:09:47.038-05:002016-11-26T15:09:47.038-05:00It is but hopefully everything will be settled.
