Hello. I'm 'chisel'.
I have had epilepsy for about 6 years now. Wow - six years, I've never kept track before... anyways - I am taking tegrotal for a mild case of epilespy. My doctor told me I had 'petit-mal' seizures, but a couple months ago I had experienced a few seizures that freaked me out and made me think I had a second personality since I would wake from it but remember questions I had in my head during the spell - questions that had me in question, "Was that me who asked this?" I told my doctor about it already, but can't remember what this spell was called. We concluded it happened because I wasn't taking my medication at the time, and that I shouldn't worry and remember to keep taking my medication. I only see my doctor once a year.
I have a hard time remembering I even have epilespy at times, and therefore forget to take my medication. I only take one pill in the morning, one pill at night, a light dosage.
I have decided to join this board because I recently have been experiencing some paranoia about my health. I've had this once before a couple years ago, around the same time of year. I don't know if this behaviour is related to my epilepsy, or the fact that I feel I have "no life" right now since I'm done school until the Summer - maybe it's a mix.
Thanks for listening.
