A very brief description is that the person, for a brief period of time, seems to drop into a dream or nightmare, with associated nonsensical actions or vocalizations. Mechanical ability is limited; they may be able to open a door and run through, but they'd be unlikely to throw a bolt, open a door and run through. After the episode is over, a period of confusion may remain as the person tries to figure out where they really are and what's really going on. This post-ictal confusion can last from a few seconds to as much as an hour.<br /><br />Sometimes the patient will have some knowledge of what's going on, sometimes there's no memory of the event at all.<br /><br />Back in Madison's day, they probably (somewhere in the world) still burned these people as witches and sorcerers. Even today, the spouse--who suffers from this--has been called "demon-possessed" by the religious who've never been taught any better. She was even refused membership in a church one time as the pastor feared that, whilst in an episode, profanity might come out of her mouth. I've always wondered what he'd have done with a Tourette's sufferer.<br /><br />Lurker111<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-18187153927108252202014-10-11T00:01:31.434-05:002014-10-11T00:01:31.434-05:00She provides citations going back way further than...She provides citations going back way further than that.Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-67120965706161630622014-10-10T21:43:02.787-05:002014-10-10T21:43:02.787-05:00Let's not give Lynne Cheney credit for discove...Let's not give Lynne Cheney credit for discovering this interesting theory.
