Sorry to belabor this point but I'm feeling very concerned for all of us. This is what I sent this afternoon. Feel free to cut and paste or whatever you choose to do. Help our fellow seekers and keep our game safe for all.

Amy - this one is over your pay grade. It needs to be addressed immediately so pass this one up to higher levels. See Facebook Page many have already responded and one person has had a gran mall seizure: - this is from the Mayo Clinic

A grand mal seizure causes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions. It's the type of seizure most people picture when they think about seizures. A grand mal seizure — also known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure — is caused by abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain. Usually, a grand mal seizure is caused by epilepsy. But sometimes, this type of seizure can be triggered by other health problems, such as extremely low blood sugar, a high fever or a stroke.

Many people who have a grand mal seizure never have another one and don't need treatment. But someone who has recurrent seizures may need treatment with daily anti-seizure medications to control and prevent future grand mal seizures.

Symptoms Grand mal seizures have two stages: Tonic phase. Loss of consciousness occurs, and the muscles suddenly contract and cause the person to fall down. This phase tends to last about 10 to 20 seconds. Clonic phase. The muscles go into rhythmic contractions, alternately flexing and relaxing. Convulsions usually last one to two minutes or less. The following signs and symptoms occur in some but not all people with grand mal seizures: A scream. Some people may cry out at the beginning of a seizure. Loss of bowel and bladder control. This may happen during or following a seizure. Unresponsiveness after convulsions. Unconsciousness may persist for several minutes after the convulsion has ended. Confusion. A period of disorientation often follows a grand mal seizure. This is referred to as postictal confusion. Fatigue. Sleepiness is common after a grand mal seizure. Severe headache. Headaches may occur after a grand mal seizure. When to see a doctor Seek immediate medical help if any of the following occurs: The seizure lasts more than five minutes Breathing or consciousness doesn't return after the seizure stops A second seizure follows immediately You have a high fever You're experiencing heat exhaustion. You're pregnant. You have diabetes. You've injured yourself during the seizure. If you experience a seizure for the first time, seek medical advice. Additionally, seek medical advice for yourself or your child: If the number of seizures experienced increases significantly without explanation If new seizure signs or symptoms appear - THIS IS SERIOUS AND YOUR GAME is creating  HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT COULD ultimately SHUT YOU DOWN.
