Is there examples of when a person has a seizure, they might burst out swearing, quite loud, quite out of character for that person?

I have JME epilepsy, had it for over fifty years, but have heard that a person is badly upset by my swearing at them, they being ignorant of my usual self and medical condition, they wrote me a letter later, saying they did not know I had epilepsy, normally such a quiet person, a real history nerd👍! I had an aunt who rang me up and said the most hurtful things, really let go, down the phone, she died a few days later, whether she had a seizure then that I will never know? I have seen plenty of people having seizures, but never heard anybody whilst having a seizure, shouting at anybody like that? Does it happen whilst certain people are having seizures?

Hi Adlon,

I have had experience with folk who have epilepsy, and in my experience it isn't common, but can happen. In those I have seen, it happens usually before the Clonic part of the seizure, although the recovery phase can also be difficult when the patient is recovering and may fight off the helper.

Hope this helps,

Cheers, Midori

Thanks Midori this is something I had suspicions about, but might explain a lot, I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and could well explain reactions from certain medical staff at a local hospital, I knew I was a regular in their A&E one of the ambulance drivers "you're such a regular down here, they were thinking of naming a ward after you!" Of course I remember nothing about the seizures, I am currently downsizing from my house, been there 21 years, one of my neighbours nicknamed "Mr Ambulance man!" [in good spirit] I am moving to an apartment, coincidently 400 metres from this local hospital🙄
