My Seizures usually Occur when I'm sleep. I woke up on the floor with blood coming out of my nose. I bit my tongue and the inside of my lip. I also had a bruise on my forehead and left cheek. as well as, blood in my eye. there my have been convulsions which is why I had scratches on my face. then I wasn't able to speak and now it sounds like I have a cold or a sore throat. however, i'm not sick
