i kinda inflicted mine. I ended up blacking out and hitting my head really hard on a window sill, which caused a seizure. I was seeing everything in green and yellow blocks when I came to , if that makes sense. I think I scared my friends more than myself

Havent had that experience :knock on wood:

NOO! I have never lost my bowels during a seizure. The most embarrassing one? Having one coming out of the shower and still being naked and my aunt and grandmother were helping me. For some ungodly reason as I got up I just started walking around.....NAKED! They are like...ok, you might want to put some clothes on now. I didnt listen and kept walking around in front of them. I finally came around and got what they were saying.....ugh!

* Tumors (such as brain tumor) or other structural brain lesions (such as bleeding in the brain)
* Traumatic brain injury, stroke, or a transient ischemic attack (TIA)
* Stopping alcohol after drinking heavily on most days
* Illnesses that cause the brain to deteriorate
* Dementia such as Alzheimer's disease
* Problems that are present from before birth (congenital brain defects)
* Injuries to the brain that occur during labor or at the time of birth
* Low blood sugar or sodium levels in the blood
* Kidney or liver failure
* Use of cocaine, amphetamines, or certain other recreational drugs
* Stopping certain drugs, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines, after taking them for a period of time.
* Infections (brain abscess, meningitis, encephalitis, neurosyphilis, or AIDS)
* Phenylketonuria (PKU) can cause seizures in infants





I blackout sometimes because of low blood sugar

That's only partially funny since it's a medical condition, otherwise it would be hilarious.

looks like a good mix of causes. Would have thought it was specifically brain related.

For me....now this is gonna get weird because I never heard about this until I had my 1st seizure.....but my mom finally told me....when I was really young....only months old....I was in the crib crying....my real father (I grew up with a stepdad, just to clarify)....well, he hit me pretty bad....I had to go to the hospital and get fluid drained from my head.

Just two days before my 24th birthday I had that seizure. MRI shows I have a porencyphalic cyst on the left side of my brain....basically if you see one of my MRI's....the left corner of it just looks cut off.....dead brain cells. I'm like 5% zombie!
