@fugger i've never been put under before because it could trigger a seizure. had my wisdom teeth taken out with just a lot of numbing.
@fugger seizures in adolescence is something that happens in some people and then they grow out of it when they become an adult or thereabouts. my brother had one when he was only 1 or 2 years old and then another when he was i think 18.
mine are triggered by stress of any kind, especially physical stress but compounded by emotional/mental stress as well. i know a seizure is unavoidable if my right arms twitches in a certain way, but i can also tell i'm getting to the point of having one by my vision closing in a little bit and feeling dizzy. so i just sit down and take it easy for however long i have to. haven't had a grand mal seizure since 2014 iirc. i have absence ones all the time though and they get more frequent the more stressed out i am, those i can't really tell are coming on but i can sometimes tell i'm having one or i just had one.
