I have retractable epilepsy. No known triggers, times, any warnings. Needless to say I can't drive. Well i 'can' drive. And I miss it! I've got a little 5 speed Mitsubishi truck. I love driving that. I did drive to the dump last year. One trip, about a mile. But as for leaving home alone: I wear a P.U.R.S.E. a button on a lanyard around my neck. The plan is, of I feel a seizure coming on, am aura etc. Try to push that button for two seconds, then a voice comes on after a minute wait: " Hello, is there an emergency? This is security alert, is there an issue? Is this D+-&** $6-&9**. "
It takes a few minutes of someone on the line (24 hours a day) is there a problem? " If no answer, they summon the 911 emergency who does GPS too find this thing on my neck.
It's a cool idea, but I don't think I have any time to push a button if a seizure is coming on. I usually have no recall of that time before a seizure. Butt no seizures dog or anything, so makes me feel better about going and getting on city buses and shopping, etc. Alone.
Anyone else know about these things? Oh, here in Washington state, this service is a bill, I think, 40 bucks a month or so.. medicare paid for it. I know I'm so blessed for that service.
"It is supposed to have a fall detection" alarm that a person will again say " is there a problem!!?? And that feature sometimes works. I'm a crossed store out fell off my neck. Butt the floor and started loudly saying. HELLO! IS D:**¢¥% THERE?
