Strange


After my 2 nocturnal incidents (possible seizures) Monday and Tuesday night and spending all day Tuesday in and out of absences and feeling 'wrong' I have now managed to pass all day Wednesday and so far until lunchtime today not having a single absence, this is very strange for me as I have had several absences everyday for 20 years.

I just thought I would share this with you all, at this point I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing until I see my neurologist.

I would say


this is a GOOD thing....an improvement!!! But still tell your neurologist about it. And keep track of it in a journal. Something's going RIGHT for a change.....

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!:w oot:

Any time you have no seizure activity, it's a good thing! I'm glad you are doing better. You really should be documenting everything in a journal for your own sake if not the doctor's.

edit: lol... ok Meetz, we're even now...

Thanks guys, you've made me feel heaps better, lets see how long I can keep it up for (forever I hope) The only thing that was worrying me was hoping it wasn't the calm before the storm as the type pf seizure might have changed.

I am definitely keeping notes this week of seizure activity, there has never really been any point before.

Hi Robin

Thats why this is so strange, I haven't changed anything, the only thing that has been different are the 2 possible seizures during the night earlier in the week. My Boss has commented that she hasn't noticed me have any absences, so hopefully that means none have gone un-noticed by me.

I have now gone 2 full working days with no absences, fingers crossed.

The test will be tonight when I start to get tired.

3 days and Still going strong, I am getting used to this seizure free life, I know 3 days isn't much, but for me its huge, I have possibly not had about 100 seizures.

only 362 days to go until I can get a motorbike :o) Yeah right.

I think I will try for a week first
