You know you have epilepsy if...

[PFunk]

the answer is 42

always

 

[AlisonBP]

yeah - when you think your options are
A: tell them what year it is
or
B: go back to sleep on the floor of the train

:agree:

More than once I have come round and thought 'I cant be dealing with all the fuss right now so I'll just go to sleep' unfortunately it rarely seems to be when I am in bed but more often when I am on the floor in the hallway or some where else that isn't an entirely appropriate sleep place.

i have taken naps on the sidewalk,
and in the side of the road.
got my wallet stolen once.

Some people suck. You know who you are.

 

[petero]

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.

or waking up slumped over a small pool of semi-dried blood in the bathroom

 

[petero]

(I'm sure someone has done is one)

You know you have epilespy if you have had multiple seizures.

yeah - that too

you know you have epilepsy if...
you've woken up to a doctor in your face telling you you have had another seizure and as it being the second observed tonic-clonic, you HAVE epilepsy (that being the medical definition of epilepsy), and that you need to keep taking such-and-such dosage of phenytoin because it is a very safe and common seizure medication...
and especially when you then come to a website community like CWE to get facts, support and a starting point to a brand new life-consciousness

the end

You know you’re dyslexic when despite having epilepsy for 6 years, you still spell it epilespy… Seriously, it’s not funny anymore brain!

hey! you could pitch the idea to ESPN for an awards show for seizures caught on camera: the epilESPYs?

a dilemma I had this morning..

You know you have epilepsy when you get ready to leave for college and you can't fit your lunchbag in your bookbag in the morning because you are now carrying medicine on you that has been stored in the nurse for oh so many years. (I finally fixed it by taking the drink out so I could fold the lunchbox a little and leaving the drink in my actual bag. I LEAVE IN 20 MINUTES! WOOOOO)

 

[new shoulder]

if you ask everyone you meet, "Have we met?"

 

[new shoulder]

you get tackled to the street and handcuffed by cops for skipping out on your taxi...not even realizing you got out of the taxi in the first place!

i'm pretty sure those cops stole from me. i remember they asked me to pay the cabbie double the fare (20 from 10), and they had my wallet. i was shouting at the police to let me go, to get f'n cuffs off me, that i had done nothing wrong, that i would pay. next morning i found an atm receipt for a 60 dollar withdrawal in my pocket but no money in my wallet. i think both cops got 20 as well as the cabbie.

Oh my God that is terrible! I hope you didn't get charges stuck on you!! Oh my
Gosh did you get a chance to tell them you have epilepsy?

 

[HalfAwake]

:yippee:You know you have epilepsy when:

One moment you're innocently chatting with the toilet seat and the next you wake up on the floor.

It took me awhile to figure what seizures were. Anywhos, I'm new here. Hi!

 

[crazychick10793]

you get bombarded with questions and the only thing you can think to coherently say is 'bracelet" (at least that made sense and I was wearing the right one!) There goes a year seizure free though

When you defend yourself to your brother by telling him you ALWAYS experience auras before a seizure and he snorts and reminds you of a time that you were sitting at breakfast and faceplanted in your poptarts and seized. Well almost always then. At least it wasn't something with syrup!

Oh you have a bracelet? I need to get one... you'd think after 23 years if having seizures I'd have one.. nope... lol. OMG something with syrup !!! :/ OMG that would be horrible.. I seem to have A LOT of them in the bathroom.. on the potty... talk about EMBARRASSING!!! OMG

yeah, I don't mind wearing one, it's pretty, this is the one I currently wear. I was worried when the idea of medical ID was mentioned to me, my grandma wore the ugliest medical ID for Diabetes when I was growing up (I'm not a plain metal chain kind of girl)
