I had one seizure which I had near the stairs and I ended up falling down the stairs... which caused me to be pretty injured. I also had another near a swimming pool which I fell in and nearly drowned, but luckily was aided and assited!
As for as tips... hard to say, but stay away from areas which could turn into a severe injury at all times possible, like near a pool.

Hello members,
The effects and consequences of a seizure with epilepsy can be very difficult to deal with and can leave the victim weak and ill for a significant period of time after the seizure. Additionally, it is possible to sustain severe injuries from falling or colliding with objects as a result of a seizure.
Have you ever been badly injured following a seizure? What effects and consequences have you experienced? Any advice/tips?
