What a life, no cure in sight.


Yet, I'm happy today to meet ya'll. 10 years since my first encounter with E. Thank God that when I awoke in ER my nurse was smiling. I been using her smile and other meds since. I'm otay. Scare here, index finger tip numb, lost two girlfriends, etc. Still smiling while riding the bus.

Hi Hosea! Welcome to CWE. Feel free to ask questions, check out the library at this site, chime in, or just vent in the padded room when needed. We all need to sometime.

When you say that you've lost two girlfriends... is that a direct causation of your epilepsy??

yes. the first was young, the sight frighten her. My best friend told me. She explained to him her inablitity to deal with E. the second occurred in the ER. I had been to three different ERs in 24 hours. While my woman stood by the door. Doc said we don't know why,
then he said it might be AIDS related. I said take the test. I was scared. OOPS, I told my woman that I've been tested before. We had been havin' unprotected sex. Even though test came back neg., she dropped me.

I'm curious to know how I would act if I were to witness a seizure. And I mean that from an outside-looking-in point of view. I would probably be scared-even though I myself experience them. I don't think I would blame someone for being affraid of my condition. It's a scary thing. As for AIDS... the acronym itself--merely printed on paper--is enough to entice fear. Do you know what caused your diagnosis? Family history, etc?

Belated welcome to the forum, Hosea.

AIDS is a peculiar speculation for the root cause of a seizure condition. I wonder what prompted that.
