This topic may be somewhere else, if so...just ignore this. If not, then let's begin!

You know you have epilepsy if:

1. You've ever found yourself in a store patting the butt of a man who turned out NOT to be your husband. :paperbag:

2. You've ever tried to disassemble your toilet (in high heals) before leaving for the office. :flushed:

3. You have moved all of your silverware onto the floor at a Thai restaurant. And come out of the seizure to find that the waitress has kindly placed all of the food on the floor for you as well! :hungry:
(Seriously folks, I came out of that seizure sitting indian-style with some cashew chicken in front of me)! :D

4. You have ever pissed off the dairy manager at Kroger for "rearranging" his aisles and restacking his eggs...mostly into your shopping cart. (Who needs ten dozen eggs?...apparently my brain thought I did)! :rolleyes:

5. Finally, if you've ever been in a voting booth during a seizure and your not sure who you elected for president! :twocents: :secret:

I'll post when I'm out of the hospital next week...maybe you guys can enjoy this thread. :) -Julie

you were patting the butt of a man that wasn't your husband!? lmao! i want to hear that story. i've done a similar thing, i woke up and was stroking the back and hair of my straight female friend (i'm bisexual) :oops:
 
You know you have epilepsy when you and name most of the aed's and their side effects even if you haven't tried them.

You have ever had a seizure passed out, coma back and returned to what you were doing, but forgot to tell everyone else you had regained conciousness and they didn't notice till you started reading over their shoulder and asked a question.
 
when you're sitting on your bus one minute, then the next you're on the floor of an empty bus with the bus driver standing over you ready to help you into an ambulence.

when you go to the school nurse to lie down for like 10 minutes and the next thing you know you're being put into an ambulence

when you ask your math teacher if you can go to the nurse and he panics and ask if you need a wheelchair, even if you just need a bandaid

your teachers insist on walking you down to the nurses office, even if you just need a cough drop

when you hang out in the school nurse office at lunch hanging out with another epileptic, a diabetic, an anorexic,a heart patient, and a kid who had broken his hip and still had trouble walking, and none of you seem unusual to each other

when you feel the need to give the same annoying kid gum every day just because he helped you during a seizure

your chemistry teacher asks you if you'll be ok, describing exactly what happens in any project involving light.

you've ever half consciously asked an EMT and your bus driver where your cell phone is
 
if one of the most exciting things to happen to you in the past 3 months is that you were fully conscious in the back of an ambulance and can remember it
 
you find two words that magically and immediately opens every doctor's door:

"Lamictal Rash"
 
if you bought your first pack of adult diapers before you turned 30.

Your know you have epilepsy when the EMTs start recognizing you before they get your information! :rolleyes:
 
when you've ended up in the exact same hospital room like 5 times and the doctors joke about carving your name on the door.
 
or with an unknown hole in the wall.
