I only had one focal aware seizure that I remember.
It was a déjà vu episode. I had a focal impaired seizure while driving. My mom got the car stopped, then I crawled over her and got out of the passenger door and started running and went into the highway. It was a miracle I wasn't hurt or that I didn't crash the car during the seizure. Do you have any other type of seizures? When you ran out of the restaurant were you aware of leaving?
Take care,
Jake

Yes I remember leaving the restaurant and then I stopped at the front door and stood in the doorway holding the door open while I came to my senses and then went back to the table where my boyfriend was sitting. I've done other usual things like that with my sister too while sitting at on her back patio while I suddenly had a focal aware seizure while we were talking. I got up up babbling and ran into her house and pointed at something.
