You leave your pc to go into the kitchen to do something, forget why you were there and what you were doing only to remember a few moments later that what you actually wanted to do was online and infact had nothing to do with the kitchen
 
when you have the ability to instantaneously travel through space-time - unfortunately to the short-term detriment of mental and physical well-being - often re-emerging to the face of someone involved with the medical community

you know your an epileptic when your taking a shower & the next thing you know your on the couch. so you get up to go pee and have to ask what happened to the shower curtain.
 
OMG these are hillarious ok I have to add mine.

You tell your son that you have to call your son to tell him you've just had a seizure and you need to let him know you are ok.
 
when you go six months seizure free and think things are looking up,then wham another bloody seizure puts you back to square one.
 
When you continually go to get or start something and forget what you were going to do. Or you start to say something and it totally goes out of your head. Happens to me all the time.
 
When you can put a phrase together in front of a bunch of lawyers and they respond by saying Oh! wow! Great Idea. And I'm just glad it came out and made sense!lol
 
when someone calls you, you answer the phone and cant remember what your suppose to say when you answer. "umm.... what do you want" lol

When you start writting something and start writting something and realize you repeated words and cannot make sense of what you wrote. Wait what ?
 
When people Are constantly worried about you seizeing you know they care but just annoys you
 
When your 72 year old mother does inside zip flying and tells you "They even take 3 year olds ,but I don't know if they will take you." Thanks mom.
 
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading these....)

For me, it was when a man came to my office door and I said, "Can I help you?" and he smiled and said, "I was one of the EMTs who responded the other day and wanted to see how you're doing." Then he proceeded to tell me he had responded the month prior as well. I think I turned seven shades of red....
 
Your co-workers respond to you showing up with an arm brace and say "What again?" My most recent sprained my shoulder and just as I was getting out of that brace I tripped over my neighbours shoes and fell down a flight of stairs LOL
