-When you're at a family gathering chatting to someone who's sitting on a sofa opposite you, and then suddenly they've magically appeared in front of you, waving their hand in your face.

Jeebus that made me jump.

-When you're on a machine at the gym and notice your timer is nearly done and you feel like you've hardly done a thing! Then you realise that you really haven't. I was feeling quite proud of meself too :dontknow:
 
you think a robin which is actually real, is not real and is out there to get you, with a spy camera around it's neck. :D Oh dear, oh dear!!! Both my Neurologists found this quite funny / amusing. :banana: I was in postictal psychosis state at the time. Blush!!! :paperbag:
 
I found out today, I really hate getting my hair cut by a different person.
my normal guy understands I am a little "twitchy" and if i say I need a moment, I mean it.

and in my cell phone, everyone has a note behind their name almost. like "denise my dad's girlfriend "
the note usually help. sometimes they dont

Great idea for remembering people. I don't like it when people call and don't say who they are. I don't recognize voices very well and often names escape me (even with people I have know for years).
 
I agree. I have a very poor ear for recognizing voices on the phone. It's proper and sensible to announce yourself first thing when calling someone else. It's rude to do otherwise!
 
well, it is better than answering the phone, "who is this?" "who?"


only to find out it is your mom

awesome idea im going to go thru my cell contact list and give everybody a title. but yea i have a terrible time recognizing voices on the phone too. actually after the first yr of seizure meds i'd see people i knew well and totally forget who they were. i'd just think "they look real familiar" made a couple people pretty mad
 
-When you order the same book off amazon 3 times within about 20 mins.
Luckily i was able to cancel two of them :roflmao:

- When you spend a good couple of hours in town trying to get a xmas present for your brothers. You get home and then suddenly remember that you've already got them like 3 things. They're going to think i'm feeling particularly generous this year!

You know you have epilepsy when you are forever surprised coming across the things you set out to do two minutes before.

:pop:

you can watch the same movies over and over, and be surprised every time
 
You know you have epilepsy when you once stuck your cell phone in the fridge, and then wondered minutes later why the cheese was singing "Don't worry be happy".. :oops:

If you've ever woken up and realised you have no memory of the past two days, only to be informed by your mother that you had 4 seizures in one day... For DAYS afterwards I was being informed of things I'd done in those two days. I think the worst was I wrote a loveletter to my bestfriends brother/good friend of mine.

I've actualy started a stupid list for things I've done like this including:

  • Whacked my foot with the hammer I forgot I was holding
  • Left something in the oven over an hour too late
  • Forgot something in the microwave for over 4 hours
  • Set fire to Rice

:eek:Maybe I really should be bubblewrapped:oops:
 
You know you have epilepsy when...

* You're so good at breakdancing you can do it in your sleep.

* You can do the Flintstones "Twitch" dance better than anyone on your block.

* Your friends suggest an inflatable Sumu wrestler outfit as appropriate outing apparel

* You find yourself explaining that you weren't having a seizure, you were just polishing your kitchen floor... with the back of your robe.
