Epilepsy Seizures and Flying - A quick question does having Epilepsy Seizures (ones with no warnings prior, total blank out during and no recollection of whats happened after Ones) make you fearful of flying??
During my teens my dad lived in Colorado and every summer I would fly down in a play. I don’t know, if I ever seizured, but I would try to remember, to warn the person next to me about my seizures and Epilepsy. I never got nervous, scared, or anxious, flying. If I was by the window, I always enjoyed looking down at the tiny bugs down below, ( people and cars ) while climbing up. Lol.
I would always bring an activity bag on the plane with me ( I don’t know today’s rulees ) , with puzzle books music player and earphones ( today’s generation, music app. On the smartphones or tablets ). And a deck of playing cards.
When it comes to going anywhere, whether it’s flying, riding on a train or bus, or going somewhere in public, I would tuck worrying about my seizures. I want to enjoy my day, whatever it is I’m doing. I now I have the possibility of seizures, but I want a good fun day. Even If, I have a seizure , I’m not to going to over worry myself. I still want to enjoy the rest of my day.
I’m the same had x2 seizures this year in one day . I feel 100% pause then I’m off ain’t got a clue what’s happening. Just a work mate said I was just starring I am off on sick they wouldn’t have me working as I’m unsafe. I only walk along corridors servicing fire extinguishers. If work understood vacant seizures ie if the person waits makes sure I’m ok then let me carry on. I’ve never felt dizzy faint but normal. So if I cant work will the system pay me to stay at home ? Obviously if I’m unsafe then I can’t cross the road !!
Well My first Tonic Clonic I was watching TV on a Sunday afternoon. I still watch TV. I used to fly a lot. Not one single seizure. Love flying!
