These are awesome, I can relate to some of them. Good for laughs. ^^

I don't know if it counts but my little sister has CIDP, she's always in hospital for treatment. I had a seizure and ended up in emergency the other day. When mum and my sister (via wheelchair) came in to see how I was I declared to my sister that we were officially cannula buddies! She rolled her eyes at me. XD

"Can you path...urgh... can you paste... *shakes head*... I need cup! *points to cup*"

(After tonic-clonic)
Doctor: *Grabs my hand* "Can you squeeze my fingers now Jessica?"
Me: "Mmmmm" *does nothing*
Doctor: "Can you squeeze my fingers?"
Me: "Yeh" *Still does nothing*
Doctor: "C'mon, I need you to squeeze my fingers"
Me: *Realization* *Squeezes doctor fingers*
Doctor: "There you go!"

Roomie- "Oh, it was good, just the usual stuff. Oh, uhhh, I had a seizure."
Me- *spew water evvverywhere* "WHAT?!"
Roomie- "I decided to anticipate your response!"
Me- "How did you know??"
Roomie- "That's your "extra" pair of trousers..."
 
love it. I have been tested and tested. I am 1000 % gold. And my epilepsy is perfected. It has tweeked my brain to huh?Was it my turn to go? Sorry.
 
told I have PNES and my "spell" and seizures are in my head but as my wife would say riiiggghhhttt. I say most of things here, and do alot of the same things here, woke up with a burn on my left hand cant explain it, have conversations with people that never happen, have watched movies but dont remember them, blackouts, cant watch 3d movies, and who are you again? key? where are they?
my all time favorite that has happened before which is why I dont drive alone, and my neuro and epi didnt listen to me and is why I'm getting a 2nd opnion very very soon,

where are we going how did I get here? oh ya I'm driving but my seizures are not real thats right they are not real so lets keep going thanks for hitting me to snap me out of it and try to make me come back but where am I and who are you again? which freeway am I on?
Lasts thankfully 2-5secondsand not too often now that I'm on AEDS but before them it was bad, have a great weekend everyone!
