yeh what I really needed was for someone to stop me and sit me down and make sure I didn't move. No idea how I was crossing roads etc. but I appreciate from a bystanders perspective most people wouldn't think "that person is having a seizure, I need to help".
actually the hardest thing for me...
yep I got a diagnosis of epilepsy about 5 years ago after 2 quite big seizures in quick succession. Since then I've had numerous petit-mal ones and blackouts. The main thing for me was what I called my "walkabouts" where I'd be in a haze for long enough to end up somewhere utterly random before...
