Courtneysmom-- your daughter has just started meds, and there's usually a sort of "cloudy" period for a week or two -- that's probably why it's taking her longer to get her work done.

We have found it best for our Jonathan to have him on Ketogenic diet so a minimum of meds (with all the negative side effects). We were able to be med free (and seizure free) for awhile, which helped him to surge ahead at school.
 
if you have had headaches that were worse

So sorry to maybe ruin your thread :( but as a mother who's child seems to have epilepsy it's making me want to cry!!!

Is all of this because you get confusion after a seizure??
I mean throwing undies out for no reason or putting shoes in crisp draw in the fridge ?
So sorry I'm new & trying to get my head around this

I understand what you are saying. My mom feels the same way when I tell her stuff. But you do have to laugh stuff off sometimes or you'd be depressed all the time thinking of it (you being those of us with epilepsy).

Though before we knew I had epilepsy, but my what I know know are partial seizures were getting worse, she came to visit and I couldn't find anything. I asked if she was moving things and she said no. I'd find them in the most random spots. She even managed to joke that I had "a special friend " moving things around. Even epilepsy can here funny sometimes :)

You know you have epilepsy if you have a simple seizure outside of your daughter's daycare and while you are sitting beside a bbq on the pavement your daughter sits beside you and asks "Mom, is this going to a long one?"
 
you know you have epilepsy,
when you can leave words out of what you said, and know what cares and know exactly what you said.
 
or if you can watch the same tv twice a row and it effin!! ROCKS!!
 
(I'm sure someone has done is one)

You know you have epilespy if you have had multiple seizures.
 
You know you have epilepsy (and an amazing child) if your son reminds you to take your meds every morning and brings you your child proof bottle. <3 oh Shit...I think I may have posted this before!
 
you spend 30 minutes looking for a sandwich, you may or may not lost. you are not sure.
 
Ha ha! I do that and I DON'T have epilepsy! But being up through the night with my child with multiple nocturnal seizures is taking its toll on my short term memory.
 
a constant frustration for you when putting together an outfit is "WHY DO I ONLY HAVE ONE *INSERT STYLE/COlOR OF SHOE HERE?!?!*"

nothing stays in pairs! I managed to lose one of the black flats I bought just yesterday (thankfully I found it)


ALSO you know you might be the parent of someone with epilepsy/other chronic health issues when you come home from the store and your son asks "Mom, why do you have one white sneaker and one black sneaker on?" (my mom did this one, stressed from driving me to bloodwork/doctors/everything else)
 
You know you have epilepsy when there is a gift inside you that you desperately want to share with the world but can’t find a means of expression to do it justice.
 
You know you have epilepsy when you are fully aware that the voices are only in your head and the moving walls no longer scare you :/

woke up one morning and the voices in my head were arguing about time travel once.


you know you have time travel when you stumble out of bed, across the room to take you meds and step into a puddle of drool, and you dont have any pets. worse, the next step you step on your glasses.
 
mine argue over the answer to an incredibly complex maths problem but when I try to consciously work it out I cant remember what the question was.
