» gurdeemd - Epilepsy - Need Help Understanding


While in Best Buy today with my friend she had epileptic seizures [four, back-to-back, to be specific]. They were not tonic-clonic seizures, but her right eye kept twitching and progressively through the hour she kept experiencing twitching of her upper body, mostly her upper extremities. About an hour after the first seizure she started stuttering really badly.
Now, I've never dealt with a family member or close friend having this disease and I would just like some help from anybody that can help me understand how I can help her the next time this happens (or if there really is anything I can do).
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

-Amanda
