What is epilepsy

The ultimate symptom of epilepsy is the epileptic seizure itself. Seizures have a beginning, a middle and an end - the beginning is known as an ‘aura’ or warning, the middle is the convulsive seizure and the end is the transition from seizure to normal state. Individuals who are about to suffer a seizure may experience the following warning signs:

•     A feeling of déjà vu (The illusion of remembering events when actually experienced for the first time)
•     Visual loss or blurring
•     Racing thoughts
•     Tingling feeling throughout body
•     Dizziness or a headache
•     Light-headedness
•     Nausea
•     Numbness
