Epilepsy is like a stalker, you never know when it might show up. Also the medication for epilepsy takes all your energy away so you seem lazy, when in fact you’re so wiped out by your meds you just wanna sleep all day.
I explain it like trying to describe the shape of water. It can't be done
It can only be experienced, however when you sit by a river and watch the water go by. Sometimes there a alot of undercurrents that we can't see. Sometimes there are rapids Sometimes it's peaceful and calm. It's ever changing from moment to moment and it just is. That's epilepsy. My brain is the ever changing river.
One other thing I do every night just before I get into bed I pray to God to help all that are suffering with life and pain + ask for help for all that have epilepsy that can cause a nasty fright during the day or night, and it has helped me feel more positive at night and my nocturnal seizures have improved.
I've always explained it as this. A misfiring of, in my case, certain receptors remain open or blocked too long. Like a plumbing issue in my brain. Certsin things don't go down and certain thing go down too fast.
It's not that simple. The "power" doesn't just go out for a moment, then come back on. There's also the inability to concentrate, the difficult to control emotional and mental instability (especially in the aftermath of seizures and worsened by certain meds), frequent memory blanks (especially when recovering), the on and off need to sleep (really annoying when trying to run a business), the physical pains in my head and throughout my body depending on if or how I fall, all of this sometimes lasting in excess of a couple of weeks from the time of any amount of seizures, depending on the intensity and quantity of thereof. The best I can get is when I'm not recovering, and it's mostly just the memory problems, messed up sleeping cycle and emotional instability which sometimes causes me to just shut down, so I don't explode at people who didn't do anything wrong. Admittedly, finally getting to reduce my Keppra intake helped alot.
If you're fortunate enough to be able to bounce back to normal, consider yourself extremely lucky.
