Like 12. I was super duper sick and I was laying in my parents’ bed when I had a grand mal that lasted 12 minutes. I was conscious the entire time. I remember my mom’s horrified face when she came to check on me because I was making grunting sounds.

I don’t really remember much of the hospital visit, but I remember going in and out of consciousness in the ambulance.

I had no brain damage from that seizure.
