<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2563104, member: 51347&quot;]My youngest daughter has 5 forms of epilepsy. I have dealt with the various episodes, even the full tonic-clonic (grand-mal) episodes on many occassions. Yes, strobes can definitely set off an episode. (We learned THAT at a Disney World ride!) Sounds like you and the &quot;helping friend&quot; helped at the right moment! Just helping the person down, ensuring they are in a relatively safe environment, turning them on their side is all that is needed. Afterwards, they will be dazed, confused, sometimes angry as the effects wear off. No need for an ambulance unless the siezure is prolonged (otherwise epileptics have never ending expensive ambulance bills!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I have been in many circustances where I had helped or assisted when someone has gone into an episode. The most difficult part is controlling the good samaritans from doing the wrong things to help or to control their anger/surprise at the victem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
