You know you have E when you have at least four copies made of every new key you get (and usually some more copies of the ones you already have)!

...or if you set alarms on your phone for stuff like "meds" "afternoon rest" and random ones crop up like "call about EEG" "see dr./Rx today at 12:40" "Lab for levels at 4pm"...etc

....or if your phone's contacts list's 'D' section looks like;
Dr. Physician,
Dr. Neurologist,
Dr. Neuropsychologist,
Dr. Neurologist,
Dr. Neuropsychiatrist,
Dr. Physician
Dr. Neurologist,
Dr. Epileptologist,
Dr. Epileptologist,
Dr. Epileptologist(!!!!)

gotta love E

people ask about scars, and you can never remember where they came from.
but you know it has an epic story.

The number of EEGs/MRIs and other tests like that you've had, starts to or have reached double digits.

...when you are having a conversation with your daughter and then you realize you're in the basement and she's in her bedroom. did that today. lol

...when you realize by reading thru all these posts that while your E diagnosis is officially only weeks old, you can relate to almost all of everyones experiences and wonder how long you have really been having seizures before the grand mals.

So true!- I have had E since I was around 8 years old and every time I read these I laugh because I could have written many of them ; )

I have a few scars on my forearms, and I have had them long enough that I don't think enough about them.

I got chewed out about them by my dad, he says I don't take good enough care about and that I am falling apart.

You know you are having a seizure if a normal 20 minute drive turns into a 20 second drive. I got on the exit and off at the same time. You tell me how this is possible?

These are great. I have to add my own.

You know you have eplepsy if the girl sitting next to you in your freshman english class is looking at you and her eyes are as wide as silver dollars. God only knows what I did or said to her. She never sat next to me again!

The whole "I never saw them again" thing never made sense to me- we do amusing stuff all the time! People should be fighting to get a spot next to us!

- you snap out of an absence seizure and shriek when you find that you've broken yet another glass cup!

You know you have epilepsy when you forget all your coping-with-epilepsy.com information, register again, and then stumble onto your earlier posts.
