You know you have epilepsy if...

When you're having an aura and your Star Wars-addicted friend asks if you sense a disturbance in the force.

my friend calls me Kevin (Kevin Spacey) when i get like that. now when i'm going i seem to respond more to the name Kevin than Alison. get some funny looks when we are out and i ignore my name but when he shouts KEVIN i say sorry and ask what he wants

I tend to go for beauty and fashion. I know I had a seizure if I come to with my shirt unbuttoned, or all together different clothes than I was wearing. I have also found makeup all over my face, or burns on my arms from my curling iron!.

As far as a bracelet goes, I have a silver medic alert bracelet that's engraved on the back side. It's pretty nice looking.

 

[AlisonBP]

my necklace has the symbol on the front and on the back it says sos medical data inside. no one thought to look for it when i was having seizures though. guess it depends on who comes to your aid.

You know you have Epilepsy if you come out of a seizure wearing a different pair of pants than you had on whenever your seizure started.

:roflmao: I thought this only happened to me!

 

[Literophile]

Yeah, I was havng lunch with him and had an aura, but the only thing he saw was me putting my fingers on my temples because he doesn't know I have a seizure disorder, and he was like "Do you sense a disturbance in the force, padawan?"

when you scare old ladies in public by falling on them

 

[AlisonBP]

when you come round in the back of an ambulance to hear 2 grown men arguing over who is going to put in the suppositry if you dont stop soon as they cant get a line in. have never tried so had to hold on to a seizure before it is something i have laughed about. the way they were arguing was like a couple of kids. the one that was meant to be treating me told the driver he would have to pull over anyway so he should do it as 'he was at the right end'

I ordered the most stunning silver bracelet from a catalouge. Couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail. Wore it for less than 24 hours and broke out in a massive rash.

when you are just chilling on your parents bed watching tv with your mom one minute, and then the next your dad is standing over you asking why you are laying on his bedroom floor with your glasses off your face and you can't answer him.

though we're not sure if i just passed out from heat sensitivity (no air conditioning in our house) or if that was a seizure. i've never had issues with heat before, but i've started lamictal since the last time it was this hot.

 

[AlisonBP]

dont know if there could be a connection there. i used to get dizzy in the heat due to low blood pressure but now have seizures. i'm now on lamictal

 

[Cinnabar]

I'm on Lamictal which is a pretty strong med. The combo between the heat and the Lamictal could have brought this on. Maybe, you could ask your doctor if you can take smaller amounts throughout the day.

when you decide holding on to a hand towel will stop you falling down in the bathroom and when everyone starts shouting at you to sit down you realise you cant remember how to :roflmao:

8 ) It's in your head but just doesn't come out of your mouth
when you want to say it

My Wife says that having a conversation with me is infuriating. My brain gets to the end of the sentence before my mouth.......brain stops.....mouth stops 3/4 of the way through the sentence sometimes.

You know you have epilepsy when:

You're in the office, blink, and wham....you're in an ambulance, half way through a conversation.

 

[crazychick10793]

when your best friend has gotten good enough to detect the mildest of seizures over the phone

if you ask your friend what she wants to talk about and she says "are you alright? you already asked me that like 3 times"

 

[Rae1889]

lol my friends do that to! and they can do it over MSN!
