Hi not High!
Or just use the line I have used for years.
And to think I used to spend a fortune to feel like this or others spend a fortune to feel like this!
 
if you go to the school nurse asking to lay down for 15 minutes for a headache and you end up in the emergency room

if your mom puts her hand on your side and it takes you a couple minutes to even realize she's in the room

the hospital staff recognizes you from the last time you were there.every detail, even the colored contacts. lol
 
lol. yes, I have a note in my file of all 14 piercings I have, just incase they need to take them out. so the first thing they ask, even if im in there for non-seizure related things, is for me to take them out.
 
2nd post here on this forum and love this thread...I just intro'd myself over at the foyer...

Not sure if this has been said already...
-You know you have epilepsy when you rate a stores customer service on how well they handle your seizures.

Cheers,
Mike
 
:roflmao:

Nope hasnt been said. but that is very good!
I think most walmarts might fail.
 
My breakthrough on Monday was at Nordstrom and they took great care of me. There was a Nordstrom Employee with a medic bag there when I woke up. He also helped out in getting me to the ambulance. He called my wife at work via my cell phone to inform her. He calmly helped her find my car when she arrived at the store. He really went above and beyond...

Cheers,
Mike
 
this happened a bit back,

when you use the hospital e.r. phone to oreder pizza, and your name comes up on the screen from the last time you did it.
 
you know you have epilepsy if you forget about our "lovely" friend gravity (but are unpleasantly reminded of it!)
 
You answer the phone with a grunt because your trying to take your slipper away from the dog and the first thing you hear from the other end is "did you have another seizure???"

When you pass the time of a particularly bad night by requesting free samples of things you can use, and only things you can use, from walmart - then a few weeks later find that what you requested were diaper wipes and tampons, which wouldn't be so bad except you are a single male who doesn't know any babies...

lmao it's happened to me too! i got a bunch of diapers, baby formula, and huggies training pant coupons, and i'm 16 and don't have a kid.
 
when you're 6 and 8 year old cousins have helped you with your pill organizer, and have corrected you on your own medication dosage! (they were right too!lol)
the first things they want to do with me on sunday is help organize my medicines. it's actually kind of cute.
 
When you look over at someone you've worked with for over a year and say, "Can you remind me who you are again....???"

Because you temporarily don't recognize them. Or anybody else for that matter.
 
you know you have epilepsy if you've walked through your house in nothing but panties when your dad and 13 year old brother are there

if you've ever came back to it with your friend looking at you creeped out and reminding you that she's not bisexual like you. apperently i had been stroking her back and hair for like 5 minutes, petting her like a dog! lmao

I think after you have been naked and unconscious or worse in front of crowds. kinda changes your view on being naked or sex in general.
