when your american history teacher has had to hold your hand and lead you to the nurse like a little kid

when said school nurse has become your best friend, though to be fair, i'm not the only one and she probably would be anyway

when your shocked at how much your 6 year old cousin knows about seizure safety and how little your mom knows. cousin said she'd turn me on my side and call 911, mom said she'd put her wallet in my mouth. yikes wtf did they teach you in the 70s?
 
when your on the phone with someone and they ask for your zipcode and you truely can't remember and they say in a condescending tone it should start with xxx lol
 
If every time you come home from the grocery store and put everything in a different place every time. It's like playing a game to find the sugar!

My husband really "loves" to play this game. We both end up tearing up the kitchen looking for things. Sometimes even the bathroom cubbord!

had to explain to a nurse I wasn't from this state and really didnt know the name of the hospital after a seizure.
 
You know you have e. when you are at school and the janitor falls off of a ladder and has to be taken away in an ambulance at about the same time your sister is supposed to pick you up, you quickly call her to tell that this time it isn't you.
 
bloody

You're on the treadmill and next thing you know you have blood all over your hair and you're back is totally painful on a carrier cart into the ambulance!

I was so embarrased yesturday! I don't like to make a fuss in public, have an ambulance come to the gym! :oops:
 
Kyrissa, you are not suppose to do that. Break a no, scrape your arm. But never get your hair messy or ruin your best bra. Oh my heart is with you.
 
You know you have epilepsy when you are watching a t.v. show and you realize, "I have have been picked up in an ambulance from that spot before."
 
you've ever ripped up a prescription script and threw it in your therapists face because he was claiming it was his medication causing you to have a recent increase in seizures when you know it happened right after you upped the seizure meds and he was telling you that you were wrong and you don't know your own body. :soap:

(i've been on that med for 4 years with no issue)
 
I like to think I know my own body, i have had it for as long as i can remember

I fell off the back of the treadmill in the gym once too! I wasn't going to fast though, so when i had a partial i just sort of stopped moving, travelled backwards and fell off the end.

Some minor bruising and a LOT of embarrassment lol. Hope you were ok though!
 
when you're spending your saturday afternoon posting here and enjoying your decaf frozen coffee drink because there's nothing else you can do safetly that all your friends are doing. yay for decaf! :woot: does anyone have popcorn and a funny movie? :pop: lol

i want to go dirtbike riding when i have more control over my seizures though
 
When you and your closest friend both have epilepsy, we are walking to starbucks, can not focus on anything else. And no neither one of us saw the cones as we were walking in the wet cement as we both realized it comming out today. lol. But I got my coffee and now I get new Nike's. 2 of us! It was so funny! We told the cement workers . By the time we got back they had roped the cones. They laughed at us so hard. Cute to.
 
When you have gotten accustomed to a facial twitch and stutter that comes with it, while other people look shocked.
 
You know you have epilepsy when you aren't sure whether to be insulted or proud when someone tells you: "You don't seem like you have epilepsy."
 
When the census worker gives up on my incoherent self and says he'll come back later (nope). I would've sent in the form, but I forgot.
 
when one minute you are sitting in the nurses office chatting with her and a few others, and the next you are laying in the cot in the back and she and your friend are asking if you're ok.

when you're 16 years old and you have a pack of depends (adult diapers) for when you are sick, because after the second seizure, cleaning pee and crap out of your bed gets old :roflmao:
