To Take Hold of, To Seize
I was fourteen years old, and I had my first seizure. I was at school and walked into the wrong classroom. I woke up on the floor and wasn't able to remember my birthday, my address, or what class I meant to go to. I was wheeled off into an ambulance, and I had another seizure in the hospital. I did not have cancer, or any other ailment that causes seizures. I was diagnosed with epilepsy.
