Man, that is goofy!

 

[jemsister]

You know you have epilepsy when your son comes up and asks you what's wrong with your brain.

 

[seizingbeauty]

You know you have E when the words "Disco bowling" strike fear into your heart!

If you know what it feels like to be the white elephant in the room.

You know you have epilepsy when:
You think you're fighting off Bane from Batman and realize it's your brother who is trying to carry you to your room.
Thank the universe for a loving family.

When you have this conversation during an ambulatory EEG

Me: "UGH where are all the seizures!? Nick do you still have that strobe light on your phone?"
Brother: "are you 100% serious about that?" *grabs phone*
Me: "YES! hold on let me lay on the floor."
Dad: "ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS? NO!"

sooo I didn't get my seizure yet again. *sigh*

This mornings experience, still not sure if this is epilepsy or being a sleep deprived college student


You wake up after only 3 hours of sleep and need some caffeine, so you pour yourself a Pepsi. and its wonderful Pepsi goodness touches your lips...but you cannot seem to remember how to open your mouth and take a sip! so it spills all over. At least I wasn't dressed yet?

 

[petero]

when your gf has seen you have a couple sleep seizures... then late one night one starts trying to 'relieve' oneself in bed and she wakes in a start thinking it was another one - and talk about a buzzkill

 

[crazychick10793]

You're 19 and you own a spillproof kids cup and defend yourself by saying "It's not a sippy cup! It's a spillproof sports bottle for ages 5 and up! I'm sick of spilling everything!" (hey, it is for ages 5 and up. for the record)

You know you have epilepsy if,

You wake up and realize there is no way you can stand up, because even though you are laying perfect flat in bed your brain is somehow now convinced that you are falling.

Half of your writing includes question marks to be filled in later.

 

[Eli]

If someone's rings you to tell you it's time to pick the kids up...which confuses you....so while you are trying to piece things together you ring the "school" contact in your phonebook and ask if you have kids? And if so do they need picking up?

Ahhhhhhh. I'm never going to live this down....

I love that! I'm guessing it's 2nd nature now to call my husband as soon as I feel a seizure starting. I hate when I come to with the phone in hand and I have to ask, "Who is this?" "Do I know you?" "Where am I at?" Lmao, I guess he's used to it cause he doesn't give me crap about it.

 

[Maisy]

You can't go for A pee at work without someone asking where your going, or you can't walk up the stairs without people panicking

 

[cazzy]

it the memory you have something in your hand next thing what ever it is you find it on other side of house or garden and no memory....it made me nearly suicidal(i not kidding)

if every bath is an adventure

Awesome

O.k., I know I'm probably becoming tedious, but I have never been able to see the humor in all of this. This post has opened the floodgates! So, here's a few more.

You know you have epilepsy when:

You name your brain so it doesn't seem like such a stranger

You think those seven-day pill box thing-ys are the greatest invention ever

You shiver and shake even when you're not cold

You have learned how to twitch in time to music

I totally agree...to all except the twitching 1 ( I have complex partial)
The 7 day pill boxes are great especially when I have to have 4-5 tablets at a go and they are different dieses.
Keep it up :roflmao:

 

[Tralee A]

if....?

If you have the weirdest train of thought and think "how did I get to this point?"
Or
You are halfway through a convo and then can't remember what u were talking about, even when prompted. No I don't have dementia yet. I'm only 28:soap:
