Then, when the seizure is done, don't try to make them get up asap.

That could lead to a new seizure, so be careful. They need time.

You can ask if they need anything, you just have to follow and respect what they say.

After a seizure, I stay down for a while, then my fiancee helps me sit a bit longer and then she helps me get up. Don't do it in a hurry.

Anyway, if someone you know is dealing with seizures, ask them what's appropriate to do in case one happens while you're around.

It's always better to know in advance, if that's possible!

Stay with them until the end of the seizure, without any other contact.

I know it's different for everyone, but in my case I just want to say that hearing stuff like "breathe, it's gonne be ok" is more stressful than anything. It doesn't help, I can't control.

Of course other people can find it reassuring, it really depends!

A person having a seizure CAN'T swallow their tongue.

Lots of people believe this, yet it's not true and really dangerous.

You should NEVER put your fingers or anything else in their mouth!

It's very important to know what to do during a seizure, because it can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone.

Witnessing a generalized tonic-clonic eizure for the first time can be impressive.

That makes me think of one nurse at the sleep clinic.

She came into my room and put the lights on, which triggered 3 seizures. She's been crying a lot, holding my hand, telling me she didn't know what to do

In general, you most likely won't need to call the ER. If the person is known for being epileptic / having some different kind of seizure and nothing unusual happened during this one, it's not necessary.

However, if it's their first seizure, it would be safer to see a doctor soon to check it up and make sure it's not a symptom of something else.

If someone is having a seizure on the road, try calling out passerby to block the area where the person is until they're able to move by themselves.

Moving a person during a seizure is extremely dangerous and raises the risk of hurting them.

Don't do it unless it's vital (around a fire for example)

If you have to do it, you must be very cautious and move without any rough movement.

If the person is unconscious after the seizure, check their pulse and breathing.

If everything's ok, wait for a bit. If they don't wake up within ten minutes, call the ER if nothing else is indicated.

Important thing to know: after a seizure, many folks just fall asleep. A seizure is really exhausting.

and how sorry she was.

I understand that.

If I use this example, it's just to mention that at least since you read this thread, you won't make this kind of mistake.

So I'm mentioning it again: no physical contact and no stimulus in general during a seizure, don't hold any part of the body.

It wasn't her fault and I know she did her best, just saying in case she finds this thread!

100€ raised so far, thanks a lot for the donation!

Any boost would be very appreciated please. Thank you so much if you do!

Take care you all 🫂

Still stuck, friends please help if you can, I'm begging.

I forgot about it but the gov didn't, I still owe ~20€ to the hospital, for when the cops got me there. If any antifascist has 1€ to spare or can boost again, it would really help, please.

Hey everyone,

We struggled to find food that Mitzi would be willing to eat, but we did. She only eats liquid stuff, so it's really expensive.

We still have to do some kidneys investigation as kindney failure is suspected.

Please, help us out if you can. A boost or a small donation would help a lot. We're sorry to ask again but this month is really tough...

Thanks for any help!

Please, we need money for the vet tonight or tomorrow morning. Mitzi will stay there for some exam for three hours.

We still have to pay the way back home in a few days at most.

Received 35€ these last 2 days. If you can and want to help, please help us save Mitzi.

It would be lovely if you could boost, thanks if you do and sorry again...

I've got two new pictures from really close, I wasn't ready. Her eyes are so expressive.

I'll post them once I'll be done with the stuff outside, after thanking everyone!

You did it! Thank you, thank you! Mitzi's on the way to the vet! You made it right in time, it's a miracle.

My fiancee will pick her up tomorrow, we'll know then how much we owe them. I can't tell yet but will update ASAP!

Gotta go to the pharmacy, I'll update the GFM and thank individually once I'll get back home. Thank you for each boost/donation, you all are amazing. We are infinitely grateful!

Urgent

Please if we could get like 100 or 150€ within now 2 hours, it would be a miracle and would allow Mitzi to see the vet tonight for longer investigation.

I have to find the money by tonight, because it will be tomorrow if not tonight.

Should be the price for a night there and the appointment, then we'll have to pay for the exam.

Any help is welcome, please, we need to make sure she's alright to have the right meds, and keep her safe.

Please, we're at 35€ raised these last two days

Hi there!

My fiance and Mitzi, our 14yo rescued cat really need to come back home tomorrow as it's the less warm day, but we can't afford it. We have to get her medical food etc.

It will cost 264€ for the travel but is the only safe way for her to get her home with this heat, then we'll be good!

Please help a disabled family if you can, thank you so much!

Okay, I've texted and updated the GFM amounts! Thank you again to everyone making this possible.

Now it's time for Mitzi's face reveal, isn't it? :BlobHajMlem:

I'm back home, there were so many people at the pharmacy. I'm exhausted because I've had to rush for the groceries.

I need a quick break before texting, I'm so sorry I don't want to seem ungrateful. Thank you for your understanding and your support.

I'll be as quick as possible

Very emotional moment. I've received the first picture of Mitzi so far, here she is. Look at her grey socks, aww!

She just came in to say hello to my fiance. She left quite fast so the picture is blurry, she'll send me another one later.

She said her eyes are beautiful, but I haven't seen them yet. I don't doubt it.

She's so beautiful I'm crying
