    Given 8 years of this and multiple diagnosis from several neurologists; yes.

    What I don’t know is why it started, why it’s continuing, or what causes/triggers them.

    We have at least found a set of meds that supress them sufficiently, so it’s not as much of a daily problem.

    That’s a hard question to answer; as I’m not conscious and remembering said decisions. I have to go on what I’ve been told of my behaviour, which is really odd in itself.

    Generally I’d say no. I kind of drop into a self-preservation mode where I try to calm myself and find a quiet cool place to do so. I’ve made poor decisions there though, like the running across a highway, or leaving the building I’m in and wandering to a random empty lot.

    I’ve been told a few odd things like my voice gets deeper, and I often go for water to drink but have on occasion grabbed something else (like a bottle of rubbing alcohol for example).

    Seizures suck, and not just the classic movie seizure where your muscles are spasming on the floor.

    Are you sure you don’t have epilepsy?

    This is me comming out of a focal-discognitive seizure; where I’m effectively blacked out for 3-10min, but still mobile and making decisions.

    You just kind of snap out of it, confused where you are, and wondering what you’ve been doing the last few min. It’s not fun; especially when you make dumb choices during, like running across a busy highway :/

    Note; I don’t drive because of this.
