You know you have epilepsy when you wake up to find yourself at home in the car but not sure how you got from the meeting home.

You know you have epilepsy when you wake up in pain and with bruises and have to watch the video tape to see who caused the injury. ( we have a web camera set up in our bedroom to tape my seizures and his flash backs)

You know you have epilepsy when you walk into the emergency room and the security guard looks at you and says i'll go get the seizure pads on the bed.

You know you have epilepsy when they apologize cause the seizure pads on are another patients bed.

You know you have epilepsy when you get to the hospital and they ask you what hurts and you can't remember.

You know you have epilepsy when your at home off your hose but you could have sworn 3 seconds ago were 2 miles down the road on a trail ride.

You know you have epilepsy when you look at your partner after intercourse and say man I feel great that nap was just what i needed.
 
at least you got in faster! my math teacher told me that one day his friend's baby had a seizure, and they ran him to a hospital straight across the street, and the nurses made them sit in a waiting room with a seizing toddler for like 30 minutes while the poor parents are having a panic attack and thinking their child is dying until a doctor with some common sense walked by and rushed them to help WTF is up with people these days!?!?! poor baby and parents

When you're at work and something falls off the shelf in the kitchen, and your colleagues (and now the clients too) go Louise-hunting cos they heard a crash.

When you lie down on the floor to stretch your back, and your friends rush over and say "Are you all right? Should we call an ambulance?"
 
I'll try that one.

I know that I'm defo epileptic when my Consultant invites me to the Department's Crimbo party!!
 
When you are in the hardware store with your dog. You have a short SP seizure, lose bladder control, and there is a big puddle on the floor. It's lucky you have your dog along because you blame it on him and clean it up FAST.
 
when your lip is all swollen and the inside of your cheek is chewed up and you don't remember biting it :bigmouth:
