Friend 1: "What happens if he has a seizure while we're out?"
Friend 2: "Don't worry, I am bringing my ipod with some mini speakers."
Me: "Wait, what? What good is that gonna do?"
Friend 2: "If you have a seizure, I'll put on some techno. So people will think you're an awesome dancer, and not freak out as much."
Me: "Ha ha... you're soooo funny..."
Friend 1: "Actually I think that's pretty clever."

This happened a couple weeks ago. :p
 
Friend 2 is a really good friend of mine. She's pretty laid back about the whole thing and doesn't stress about it very much. We often joke about it, and it doesn't bother me at all. :)

Friend 1 was more like an aquaintance. Don't really know him that well, and I've never been around him enough for him to experience my E firsthand, so he was unsure of what would happen if I did seize.
 
If everyone at work thinks you got a DUI because your wife started to drive you in.

On the bright side, explaining how you’re not a drunk segue’s nicely into raising epilepsy awareness. :)
 
2 Weeks after being released from your video EEG and you still have red dots on you forehead from where the leads were! Just my constant reminder of how disappointing that week was:soap:

how did it go? did anything come up?
I have the feeling that my doing it would end up a big waste of time - except for hospital room re-decorators, after my going for days/a week without a cigarette

isn't there an EEG phone app yet? har har har
 
Lets just say I did'nt produce what they were looking for. Oh well better luck next time.
 
when you wake up on the side of the road,

and decide to go back to sleep because you were comfy.
