not driving i get plenty of exercise, i am in better shape than any my age and at 54yo weigh same as in HS.
i am stuborn and hard headed as they come. being epileptic i have learned how much i can do with what ever i have. epilepsy as taught me there are very few things i can not do. i find there are more things i should not do, i do a lot of them any way, than things i can't do.
 
I'm having trouble coping with epilepsy at the moment, but this thread really made me feel a lot better! I've thought of a few benefits (although if i had a choice i'd rather not have epilepsy and forgo the benefits!)

*Free prescriptions for my meds, plus any other meds/lotions/potions i may need for other things at the doc's
*I get a free bus pass cos i had to surrender my drivers license, and can now go all over England and Scotland (Not sure about wales and NI though!) for free!
*I know that all my school reports saying that i was prone to "daydreaming and not paying attention" wasn't down to me being lazy!
*I found out who my real friends were
*When i had my epilepsy training for work (i work with adults with learning disabilities) i knew a little more than some others in the group.
*When i'm not using my bus pass, i'm getting an awful lot of exercise!
 
Once in chemistry in high school, we were supposed to do a project that I really didn't want to do. I forgot all of my materials. To get out of going to the river, I pretended to have a seizure. Twitched my face.

Got to go home. Sometimes the ignorance of people can be a good thing. My parents would have been like, "Stop being a brat and do your work!"

I've thought about benefits too - whenever I have a nocturnal seizure I get the next day off of work! :)
 
Dropped a couple of those on my co-workers. Had one laughing so hard I asked if she was the one with seizures... that didn't help any :gob:

I'm not bad looking myself, maybe not beauty but hey. Yours was one of the first screen names I saw when I found this site. It made me laugh!
 
On the subject of csreen names, I've been coming on this forum for over 2 yrs now, and it was only last night after a conversation about 'backwards speak' with my 11 yr old after she called her brother oopidstay that the meaning of it became apparent....HI eruzies lol....My brain is sooo dulled that it's taken me more than 2 yrs to realise that his/her screen name is 'seizure' spelt backwards!!!! (and this is someone who was a member of mensa at 11 :roflmao: ).

Easy! Use the French cafe method -
Squeeze the lemon juice into a small glass pitcher, filtering out the seeds. Have another pitcher of cold water, and a bowl of sugar.
Pour the pure juice into a glass, add water, and sweeten to taste. Very continental!
 
for those who have myoclonics. some one read the instructions to ants in the pants so now I've got ants in my legs and their getting fisty
 
Hi Hon

I don't think we have spoken before, but I just read your bit on Myoclonic epilepsy, probably the only type I haven't experienced.

If you don't mind, would you tell me all about it? Thanks mate, hope all ok with you, we're all so close on CWE, I can't thank Bernard enough for getting us guys together on here eh?

Lol
