How's it going??
Meetz1064,
For now, pretty good. Last week, I had two grand Mals in one day. I've been having these things for over seven years, every form, every med (save one or two). Thing is, it didn't start out like this. I originally had an astrocytoma brain tumor in the dead center of my cabasa. I had my first grand mal on the table affecting my entire right side. It did not go away. At least not soon. Three weeks of treatment later my right side got where it needed to be. A year after that, the seizures started rearing their ugly heads again. I don't know what you call a record, but 6,375 seizures is one, and I'm nigh on to that. Didn't mean to go on and on about my situation, but there's so much history to all of our situations, and I'm not even through 25% of mine. How's it going on your end?
 
Birdbomb,
That squirrell was the one that I got to shake paws with involuntarily as he frisked me for bread on a camping trip last week.:e:
 
Hi ZJ, welcome to the forum. :hello:

I fixed the link for the blog feed in your profile.

The forum can seem a bit intimidating at first, but you will find that there is a lot of redundancy in the links on every page. It's really not that complicated. You'll be navigating the site like a pro in no time. :)

Thanks, gigi! This really helps getting in contact with fellow partners in crime! :e:
 
Hi Z J, and welcome!

I hope you get comfortable and explore all the different forums. There are ones for chatting and for venting. It sound like epilepsy has thrown a lot at you. I hope you find something that works to get the seizures under control.

Best,
Nakamova
 
It certainly sounds like this forum has everything. Thanks Nakamova.:e:
