I’m no brain surgeon, but that goofiness lasted about twice as long as it needed to.
It almost seemed out of control during the second half of the head shaking.
Anyone familiar with petit mal that could weigh in here?
Yup, I have petit mal seizures, but what she did is not a petit mal seizure. When I have the seizure, it lasts about a minute or a little less. I just don’t want to talk...I just want it to go away...it causes an “inner shaking” inside my head, but other people can not tell I am having one unless I tell them. Also, it can (very very super rarely) lead into a tonic clonic seizure, where I go unconscious for a second or two, and fall down flat on my face. I had a brain injury (hit by a car, in coma for a month and a half, had to relearn how to walk, in hospitals for 6 and a half months, yada yada Yada) when I was 12...and have been head injured now for 32 and a half years. So in my opinion, she was not having a petit mal seizure, but was having some other neurological event happen. It is likely related to her head injury several years ago.
