One day I had a seizure while waiting to take the bus home from college.
   I would normally walk to my house, but being on the other side of
the city, I (so I'm told) attempted to walk into an older person's home
and she called the police.

Because I ignored the officer and worked  to open the front door, he had
to use force to take control of me(have you ever tried to control
someone having a petit mal?). Luckily, he saw my necklace and completely
changed his method. For that reason, there were no bruises, on either of
 us.

Don't compare it to a doggy with a lead on, but as an unmarked car with
a siren that is only used when necessary.

 For those of us who get auras and they're from T.Lobes, the right
side Seizure Focus produces a Deja Vu sensation and taste or aroma
like lemon or sourness.  Left T.Lobe (I don't have) supposedly
produces a Jamais Vu aura (where your own place might feel like a
stranger's house), and the Aura is Eggy or Sulphur-like taste or
aroma.
  Those (when they occur) are a non-invasive way of telling which
T.Lobe a szr. starts from. Some people here (a few years ago)  had
Complex Partials or Tonic Clonics that started from either (both)
sides, so they experienced both types, sometimes one, sometimes the
other. Sometimes too, if the szrs. aren't controlled, they can
generalize to grand mal or other type of szrs. once they progress.
(Before I got controlled when mine did that I'd usually lose
consciousness and wake up on the floor or in hospital.  That's how I
could tell that some of the pills were giving more complete control,
as they moved to Auras (like above), but didn't progress to stronger
szr. type.
 (The Temporal lobes are like the short-term memory buffer of the
brain. New learning or what we read goes there first, then gets moved
to other areas for long term storage or discarded. Damage there (like
I have) can affect reading and remembering what was read, or new
learning. I noticed it most (before control, aging) learning how to
use this (*&^  computer when the screen would move on, and I'd not
recall what was on the screen (window) I had just left.)     G./

 I don't know what that would be, but I'd assume some kind of
recorder instrument? to measure blood pressure or electrical firings
as any of your szrs. started?   That would have been something (he
should have explained?) that you'd only wear for 1-2 weeks to decode
the frequency and szr. type that might have been happening-- similar
to a portable EEG.
  (They usually want to know what the szr. type is as the type of
treatment and pills that would work for 1 szr. type won't necessarily
be any help for another type.  You could have worn a high collar
sweater or other thing while the test was running.  I hadn't heard of
that type of instrument over here/ Canada, so might be something
new. )

  Medic Alert in North America sell either necklaces or wrist
bracelet (I use) that list their Toll Free number for Medics to call,
with the Member number.  Their computer file then has Emergency Family
contacts, Doctors who are treating you and numbers, and more details.
The bracelet *I use says Seizure Disorder, Allergic to Seafood, Blood
Type xx, and the toll free Medic Alert number.  (Doctors can call
*collect from *anywhere in the world, Australia, China, UK, Italy etc.
no matter where you are, and get 24 hour access to your file.  For
$35. one time cost, it's pretty cheap insurance for people who have
various Chronic Illnesses that could affect their consciousness --
heart conditions, epilepsy, and other medical conditions.
  (Lately they also sell a cloth Sports Wrist Band (for kids in one
of 4 colours) that has the bracelet imbedded in it, so it looks like a
Sweat Band to other kids.   I only know it's for kids since I wanted a
Blue one, and she told me ~4 years ago they don't come in Adult
size. :-<  )
 Both the Necklace and Wristband have a Safety Link on each side that
will Pop Free if the bracelet or necklace were to get caught on
anything, to prevent injury.  *That's the part that wore out on mine
after about 5 years.   That was the only reason I had to re-order
one.  There are sterling silver and Gold ones for much more money, but
it would still need to be replaced like above after about 4+ years, so
at $300 that doesn't make it very attractive for long term use. G./
