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.
For some people but it’s very rare. My great uncle had photosensitivity epilepsy and when he was pissed at us he’d turn his TV on to a channel that only produced static and he’d stare at it to trigger seizures.
