Having a hard time with other's letting me have a normal life as much as possible. So how can I keep from being stressed out from someone else trying to tell me what I can and can't do? Has anyone else had this problem?
I have been having seizures for 30 years. My seizures are caused from spots on my Brain, which were caused from Chemotherapy that I to take for Child Hood ALL Leukemia,and thankfully do not have any more.
That was My Mom not letting Me do things. My Father was the opposite (when Mom wasn't around). That's why when at 19 moved from My Mom at NY all the way down to FL with My Friend!
I can relate exactly to this. And a lot of the time it just comes as a natural reaction of compassion from others. I don't know how long you have had your case, but it took a little time for others to adjust and give as much "freedom" as possible for me. But, and understandably, I doubt it will ever stop completely. The best "solution" if you will, that I've had was to just be as open and communicative as possible.
I know the feeling in the lower back... The Doctor put acrylic cement between the 2 discs in lower back. I had fractured it when there was a seizure. Be careful, don't get Osteoporosis!
Thanks everyone! I know the hard part on me is that I still live at home with my Dad who is soon to be 73 years old, and who has also had 5 Strokes, and is still able to drive around town like to the grocery store and back home, and sleeps off and on through out the day. The other part with myself is I also have a Herniated Disc in my Lower back area, and still having tingling and pain on a daily basis, even after having back surgery one time so far, and will have to at some point. I was outside yesterday afternoon for one hour cutting vines off my fence area before I stopped to come in and cool down and get something to drink and a snack because I felt shaky, and the shakiness feeling was telling me that my blood sugar must had been low. I was doing this outside because my Dad isn't able to do this anymore because he doesn't have good balance, and so he can't stand up for long, or bend over to pickup something. My Mom passed away 8 years ago from cancer, but I do have a Big Brother who already has a lot on his hands to deal with, and so I'm trying to do as much as I can for my part, and I know that taking care of myself and my Dad is hard and stressful, but I know this is what I have to do.
