Absence seizures are brief episodes of staring. (Although the name looks like a regular English word, your neurologist may pronounce it ab-SAWNTZ.) Another name for them is petit mal (PET-ee mahl). During the seizure, awareness and responsiveness are impaired. People who have them usually don't realize when they've had one. There is no warning before a seizure, and the person is completely alert immediately afterward.
So basically I blank out sometimes from ten to twenty seconds at a time... During them I cant smell, hear, taste nothing... But after they are over in those seconds I will continue on just like nothng happened.
I can have several "episodes" in a day.. but never longer than 20 seconds.. And usually do it when Im highly stressed...
