I'm not the only one that does these things!
 
When you finally give up relying on your once excellent memory and buy a pack of coloured sharpies for the purpose of colour coding your calendar.

I have black for work shifts, blue for medical appointments, green for money coming in, red for bills (there's more red than green >.<) and pink for social situations.

I must say, my calendar is looking very pretty now lol.

:paperbag:
 
No, all the paramedics know my name.lol I got to get in better shape. lol I have been swimming almost every day. So much enerjy. and some day they are suppose to put a jym in here, I cannot weight.
 
You know you have epilepsy if...

Your wife swears that you have PMS every day because of the 3000 mg of Keppra you take daily.
 
the worst variant of that joke i have ever read,

I was sat on a bus with a mate and he told me the following joke:
What do you do if you see an Epileptic having a fit in the bath?

Throw in your washing.

The guy behind us leaned over and said, "I think that's disgusting. My son died in the bath whilst having a fit."
We both went white and apologised. The guy got up to get off and said, "He choked on a sock."

as for the second joke,

wow that was a new one,

You panic when you hear that there is blue light special over the loud speaker while you are shopping at K-mart.
 
Follow up to K-MART
You know you Epilepsy if your heart speeds up awhen the the manager asks you are to do the blue light special....Been there, done that, have the T-shirt.

For the next 10 mins. We will be having a Blue light special in the shoe department on all summer sandals. Adult and children's sandals will be reduced 20% from the already reduced sale price.

Then he comes back around and says, it's been 10 mins for the past fifteen, I think you can move on now.
 
You get your medications that you think yoi need refilled on Thursday. On Saturday you notice you don't have your medication in your pill box so you freak out and can't find it anywhere after searching for thirty minutes (and the pharmacy is closed on the weekends ) and think you must have forgotten this one (cause your memory doesnt work right half the time). You feel like crap all weekend and call on Monday morning to get a refill.... They say you just got it refilled. Search again in the most obvious spot and it's right there. Thank goodness this was my antidepressant that this happened with and not my Keppra... Yesterday was an emotional day to say the least!

You end up in the hospital so frequently that people stop visiting you since they know you'll be back home soon. With the exception of my dear husband of course.
 
You're getting in the shower and your husband says "Yell if you need me"

It made me laugh. I dont' get auras, just TCs, so...yelling is a given lol
 
OMG ChargingBird Yes! i get auras but the new meds have reduced seizure frequency and greatly increased auras- leaving me to ignore most of them.

He yells that every shower, I am not to do anything water if I am alone, and if I take one of my much loved bathes, he leaves the door cracked to the bathroom so he can see and hear me

Continuing on the shower theme…

You know you have epilepsy when you have to shout “I’m ok” whenever you drop something in the shower. Soap makes EVERYTHING slippery.
 
When someone is sent to go check up on you 1/2 hr after a seizure and they are startled and scream out because they open the door and see you standing.
"Oh! You scared me! I was expecting you to be lying on the floor still!"
 
P-Funk I have a HILARIOUS "misunderstood thud" story involving an unlocked door, a very conscious mid-shower me, a lunatic roommate, and a jug of shampoo, and voluntary shrieking on my part. I'm sure you can put those pieces together lol

I yell "I'm fine, it was a ______!" whenever I drop anything hahaha ; )
 
you remind yourself not to buy a body wash again because it made you itchy...so you go back to the shower to take it out and you can't remember which of the 3 body washes in there it was :roflmao: you only got out of the shower 10 minutes ago!

Thank god I've been free from any "major" seizures for a year now.
 
when something goes missing in the house, you know and everyone else assumes without a doubt that you misplaced it or worse threw it out. ya know, one of them could have done it, right?
