Hi tos8,

The seizure alert dogs are great they can tell 10 min to 1 hr. before a person is going to have a sz. by a chemical our body gives off that we can't smell but the dogs can. Depending on how the dog is trained it will either bark or put its paw on you when you are going to have a sz. Also the dogs are well known for laying on the floor to protect a person if they fall during the sz.
If I may ask do you have more sz. in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer? I always have more sz. in the fall and winter and my epileptolgist told me it's because there's less light and ceritone (sp?) so try and get a bright light and see if that helps you also. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
