People have dialed 911 a lot of times when I’m having a seizure.
fighting about not having a job for a period of time...just sitting by my laptop and my body from my right hip keeps twitching for some reason and im not sure what to do as its causing a horrible pain in my side
When I calm down after an argument my head tingles all over.
Since it started
Because my dad told me I was at the top of the stairs talking to myself but what I was saying was worded like having a conversation with myself
Yeh there basically the same there a few types you can have I tend to looking for stuff and repeat or just ignore people but some I'm aware and some I'm not where I can feel it or it just takes over… read more
Hi, I'm trying to tease apart the elements surrounding the stigma in order to build a strategy for fighting it. While families and romantic partners have as many different reactions as there are people with epilepsy, I'm trying to figure out useful generalizations that might be made about reactions from friends and acquaintances.

Something some said got to me. Not all forms of epilepsy make tou loose consciensness. I am always alart and and aware of several of my triggers. My sezuires are either absent, mind staring or simple/conplex jerks (like a cold chill).
I have complex partial seizures. My neurologist and I have talked about my license as I have brought it up. He sees no reason to revoke my license and my diagnosis does not require them to be.
Anyone else still have their license?
I am hoping for my first year. It's been 10 months.
When did you get it?
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
1990s
2000s
1959 is when I was diagnosed at age 7.
I'm just wondering has anyone had a seizure during a doctor's appointment?
I'm asking this question as I've heard a youtube neurologist say it's very rare for a seizure to happen at a doctor's office.
But aren't seizures unpredictable and can happen anywhere so I'm confused about this statement.
At my last eeg, but I don't know when that was, it's been that long, my opinion here,
