haha seize,yes you do!!! And why do i feel like im sneaking into the sexual health clinic,wanting to be in and out without been recognised when in fact im going to bloody nureology!!! Its just not fair!!! :ponder:
 
LOL Neil, going through the sexual health clinic to get to neurology is so unfortunate!

Ha! Starfish you're right haha We are the weird ones! There are sometimes people that are .far. weirder than us E's though! For example yesterday I was waiting and this dodgy scruffy bearded auld man sits down next to me and leans over to whisper quietly in my ear, "Am I dead? I think I'm dead. Am I really dead? I think I died. They told me my brain wasn't right and I think I died because if your brain doesn't work, you're dead. Are you dead too? I think I'm dead."

Uhhhhh.... 0.o


You know you have epilepsy if you have loads of epic entertaining stories! :D

neuro waiting rooms can be fun. only thing worse every with epilepsy seems to instantly get along for some reason.

only thing worse here they stick you in the psych ward when ever you go to the hospital so the nurses can and will keep an eye on you in case something happens.

I have been in with people during escape attempts. Barkers (more than once). screamers. all sorts of fun stuff. makes you wonder what those nurses see on a regular basis.
 
We are only crazy durring seizure and post-ictal. We get sanity and insanity. My father tells me people have to get drunk and do drugs to feel like i do durring post-ictal. It makes me feel kinda specially when thousands of people pay money and in some cases devote their whole lives to feeling like I do when I feel like crap.
 
Me after my latest seizure yesterday, than on my way to the ER.

EMT: Do you know where you are? Who is our president?
Me: On a bed and some guy
EMT: Do you know your social?
Me: Umm, im too out of it

Fast forward about ten minutes, I get to the ER, and the on call ER Dr starts asking me all the same questions. My response? "aww shit, not this again"

Click to expand...

for the question about your social, I would have said: "Do you wanna get social?"
 
my gf wanted me to tie the back of her dress for her,
i think i stood there for 10 minute with 2 ribbons in my hands before saying
"what the hell is this"
and handing it back to her
had completely forgotten how to tie a bow
 
I was sick with dizziness/vertigo yesterday (this happens maybe once per month...) but I began throwing up because I seriously couldn't handle it and after FOUR hours I finally told the guy I've been dating (he came over to keep me company), "Augh! I just want a seizure! ANY seizure would be better than this! Tonic-clonic, tonic, I don't care!"

I promptly leaned over and enjoyed another round of empty-stomach retching.....
 
"I'm not going to the epilepsy association meeting tonight....no, it's because I'm going to have a seizure."

Just said this.
 
Haha had a meeting with my new case manager at the epilepsy services center and she gave me lots of new magazines and toys. One being a colorful brain stress ball that reads Seize The Day!! Oh the hilarious irony hahahaha.
 
hey janine just wondering where you are from? I've never heard of an epilepsy service centre, in my quest to find any support at all around where i am from (fremantle, western australia) I've had no success, i'm just shocked that such a thing exists!!
 
Hello :) I was so shocked too! I live in Florida in the US. The center is amazing because I am a student living with a parent and without insurance The only thing I have to pay for is my meds, the center covers all tests and drs, mental health and job placement.. They seriously need more centers like this everywhere.
 
wow!!! can you tell me what the centre is called, im doing a lot of research on what support is available in other places in order to bring more awareness of what should be available where i live :)
 
Of course. It is called Epilepsy Services of West Central Florida. Their website is epilepsyservices(dot)com :)
 
Hmmmm,wonder how many pills ive popped since i was diagnosed???

I suppose we are all serial pill poppers with a habit!!!
