Q: Hello Ryguy

Your b/f sounds just like me.
Sometimes I can feel what is happening to me. So far I have had tests and nothing is wrong with me. They dont know why I have this either. The medication works for a short while then it stops working. It sucks so bad. Sometimes the noises I make are like a high pitch squiel like a pig I guess well thats what my g/f tells me anyways. I am 21 yrs old and this has only just begun to happen to me over the past 6 months. It makes me so down at times. And then you have to deal with the fact that if you do hurt your self then the bruises or the carpet burn is there as a reminder for a week atleast. I dont bite my tongue. But I can hear sometimes and maybe I can answer when I am fighting the initial stages.

Hey there. I'm sorry the same things are going on with you, although i'm glad to have found this forum and find others. I do alot of research on the internet so I can understand it more... But i've never talked or known anyone else with it. My fiance also will be using this screen name. So on any given post it might be from me or from him.
Thanks for writing. It never even occured to me that maybe he could hear me while having a siezure. I'm curious to see.

Another thing is i've noticed there are alot of epilepsy awarness/funded programs and walks in europian countries. And none here in the usa. Since your in australia... Do you know of any around you? I try to look for anything epilepsy related, but there is nothing around here. Kind of sad.
