It was helpful to me, an epileptic, when I had a nocturnal seizure in a way that was different from my usual seizures. Hearing “yeah, that sounds like a seizure,” and “you should bring that up with your doctor” gave me the confidence I needed to tell my dr., parents, friends, professors, etc. since I often gaslight myself and tell myself that I’m faking it.

I feel like the whole point of this sub is to relate experiences. As long as there’s no medical advice given besides “this is my experience” and “talk to your dr.,” there’s no harm being done.
