Convulsive seizures in epilepsy

I have had epilepsy since being a teenager at the age of 13. During the year 1984. I am now 55 years-old.
My seizures happen in this way where my sight turns into a black out and there occurs vibrations particularly in the portions of the years. This acts as a signal before happening of a convulsive seizure.

A precaution must be taken particularly moving to a safe&secured place or else there lies a chance of accident, might be injury on head etc. After the seizure takes place there is a loss of consciousness.
The consciousness does regain after some time, which might be 20 mins to 45mins or maybe longer. After regaining of consciousness, the memory turns blank, and there lies a difficulty to identify a location.

Question for the community: Has anyone else experienced convulsive seizures and a loss of consciousness?
