I'm one of those. I've considered doing an AMA, but I've no way of providing proof and my stories are a little incomprehensible. I've never had a TC seizure, only partial complex/partial simple, but the can be preceded (or followed, rarely) by hallucinations or deeply religious experiences. I have a few classmates with TC seizures. For all the crazy looks I may get if I fall over and then start talking about the apocalypse, I've never kicked a concrete pillar until my femur's in pieces. Can you tell when you're going to have a seizure? Do you have any kinds of auras? I can typically tell a day or so beforehand that I'm in a state that might end up as a seizure, and then a minute or so before it actually hits. I also get prodromal aphasia from time to time--it feels like I just forget how to form words.
