I stumbled onto your site in googling epilepsy. I was diagnosed last year... I have Complex partial status epilepticus. I suffered a head injury 4 years ago, but was only just diagnosed this past Christmas. I am not receiving medications or treatment currently as I am having a VERY hard time finding a doctor cares enough to give me a second glance...sigh. I have my seizures every 19-22 days. They follow a very specific pattern, and when they hit, I have around 30 in a 24 hour span. I then spend 2-3 more days in bed very sore, fatigued and weak after they are done. I came to this site in hopes of meeting others like myself. I dont have any friends that have Epilepsy, and my family cant seem to connect with me either,...as they dont understand the severity of my illness.
I feel alot like i am just "complaining" about being sick..but I just cant help it. I feel sick all the time..and even when the big ones arent here,.my brain is always actively in seizure mode. I try to work around being sick, but depression is starting to take over....I feel lost...and need help
Thats what brings me to this site....Hope !!
