My daughter has seizures, possibly complex partial seizures. Apparently they come in two types: one is a "little" one that I never see and that doesn't bother her, and the "bad" kind, that I have seen and really bothers her. The "bad" kind is when she pauses and looks somewhat nauseated and lasts about 20 seconds. She can remember things I say to her during these seizures. Several times she has come to me in an effort to get distracted because the "bad" ones seem to come in clusters and she fears the next one. During the bad ones, she can talk to me but she says it takes a lot of effort. My question is, if you can anticipate a seizure and talk during it and remember what was said, are you losing any kind of consciousness? I thought that I read that people have no memory of their seizures; maybe they remember what they were doing before, or they found themselves on the floor afterwards and figured they had a seizure, but I thought that you had no memory of it.
