hence my reply above
Me and a mate saw a guy have an epileptic fit in front of us and started choking to death. My friend stuck his hand into his mouth to pull his tongue out, while I stopped the poor sod from scraping his head to a pulp on the concrete.

Seriously do feel for you guys :(

It's fine if your medication works
Good on you for helping. I'm really lucky - my meds are great with no side effects - have now been seizure free for 12 months so have just got my driving license back! Woo hoo! Be care sticking your digits in their gob though - you could end up with your finger being bitten off.

That was one concern;
we had to pin his mouth open (which with a seizuring adult male who was built like a brick shithouse it wasn't exactly easy)

You've got to laugh at it, otherwise you'd go mad
glad to hear the med's are working - took me 3 goes to get one that didn't turn me into a zombie, but I'm reasonably stable now (as far as the epilepsy goes anyway). I just - personally - think that you have to have a giggle ... if my son had it I might think a different way.
