I have grand mal and complex partial seizures. When I have the partial seizures I swear I’m getting a message from somewhere or that I can see the future… then a grand mal happens sometime after. Your friend might’ve had a different type of seizure that led to the grand mal happening at church.

I remember one time I had about 50 complex partial seizures in one day and I was convinced I was seeing the future in my dreams. They made me so tired that I just laid down for a nap. The second I closed my eyes I started having a grand mal. I didn’t even know I had epilepsy on that day lol, I was driving around my car and everything.
