You have epilepsy when you pleasantly find money where you forgot it was stashed.

You know you have epilepsy, if the first thing you say to the EMT when you come out of it is .."You know, we really need to stop meeting like this. "
One of my best stories involves waking up in the back of ambulance, and once they got the neck brace off me in the e.r. I got up signed out and walked home in only my underwear.
I love that one, So many times I have found a twenty or more in my purse and swore my mother put it in there.

You know you have epilepsy when the EMT asks you what year it is and you say 1996(2005)
when you use the camp chair as a porta-potty
when you get tossed from the show for heckling the Mime
- You've ever spent 30 minutes trying to change the channel on the remote after a seizure and don't know why it won't work, only to realize you've been trying to change the TV with your cell phone
- You stare at your loved one's faces as they are grilling you asking who they are and you confidently blurt out, "I know it begins with an 'S' and you're my sister" to your daughter
- You practice saying your name over and over in your head so that you're ready when someone asks you after a seizure
- You have lots of nicknames for people and places so that others can't tell when you've actually forgotten something
- You go into your Neuro's office and give him a run down like you're pre-med and he looks at you and says, "Well, obviously you know what's best!"
- Your family can't tell if it's just THAT cold outside or "there you go again"
- You start to ask your friends if just once maybe one of them could have the emergency so you can try and meet a cute fireman since it's a little hard from your back and out cold
- You've come to in the hospital on your 18th birthday listening to 2 doctors argue about who's going to remove the lightbulb from the man next door.....and you pray for another seizure!

I need to try try that.
I was at a show with a friend. (my epilepsy is sound triggered)
there was this band that SUCKED and I lean over to a buddy and point that out. It was a quit moment even the band on stage heard me, and pointed that fact out. I never wanted to turn myself inside out.
lol
you know you have epilepsy when you can get your tongue pierced and feel nothing more than normal! lol
