CHRISTMAS WISH CURE FOR EPILEPSY

-

  This has been a year to remember for and we all want to see COVID just poof disappear. That isn't going to happen but we are fighting the best we can through this time. Plus with all the research we are getting closer and hopefully it will be gone soon from our lives. If I could have on wish for Christmas it would be a cure for epilepsy.

 Energy: That is something that epilepsy differently sucks away from you. Not only do seizures suck all the life away from you if you have them. Of course meds can drain you so much and kill so much of your day. I wonder what a whole month absolutely seizure free would be like, what a cool Christmas gift.

 Peaceful: Having a massive like a true huge stretch of no seizures would be such a Peaceful feeling. It definitely would be a recharge for the mind and the body. Also if it stayed like that it might also drop my medication levels. That would be awesome and help my energy get higher maybe not as many afternoon rests.

  Intense: Seizures are a very intense thing to go through not only for the person who has them but the loved ones they are living with. And the friends they know. It is a draining feeling and the feelings that rush through us are a very intense lightning bolt. But we have great family and friends who support us.

  Laugh: This one may seem odd to throw in but I use it as a coping mechanism at time's. Sometimes after bad seizures or bad seizure runs i will feel upset or cry at the fact. Then there are times where to feel better I have to smile and laugh. It sometimes helps me relax and takes so much stress away from the situation.

  Embarrassed: Yes there are times i have felt embarrassed about my epilepsy or seizures. This has been after I have first met somebody or if I have had a seizure and then another. Or if I have a seizure in public place sometimes I feel like crawling under my blankets just staying there.

 Patience: Dating or being married to somebody who has epilepsy or another seizure disorder especially if you enjoy things planned perfectly. Like in a dating example if your partner has a seizure and you need to cancel usually the partner is cool with it. But on the flip side it doesn't mean they should move to front of line if say the person with epilepsy had planned things in advance with buddies and friends. 

 Another reason Patience is a requirement is because of times you forget things and believe me this is so common. As sad as this is to admit I have forgotten more than one partners and friends birthday. Needed constant reminders sometimes even of certain family sad eh.

 Safe: Its always good when someone who has had a seizure is surrounded by friends and family. Not only does it show love it makes them feel safe, that possibly is the most important feeling. Having that awesome safe feeling knowing so many shoulders are there.

 Youthful: That is a  attitude I find in many people who have epilepsy. I have that  myself I have noticed people use it for the same reason I use it. It is a coping mechanism especially after a a seizure they want to feel alive and young again with no care. I feel many times this is very helpful to recharge both body and mind.

UNIQUE CONVERSATION

-
  Last month I had posted an entry about my average numbers of seizures in a day. Or at least what I thought were my average number that I was having. One of my epi friends and warrior Tiffany Kairos posted something to her story about the type of seizures she has and the number of them.   I sat back for a bit and thought to myself I knew my mom or dad or both were seeing a fair number that I was having. Like I knew that I would have between 2 or 3 a day average sometimes I thought 4 maximum of 5. I thought to myself the 5 would be my top out day so to speak. That was a relief in many ways.  Well I got a bit of a turn around where I showed mom the video that Tiffany did. My mom first said she felt bad but knew I understood the feeling. I asked her how she figured? Mom told me yes you know about 2 or 3 a day on average like your aware. Then often there are 5 more I might tell you about.  So more of a 6 to  in a bad day. She said with everything going on you ...

NEW BODY UPS AND DOWNS

-
 Today I found that I had both body freeze  and words disappeare from me. I was on the phone with one of my best friend's, she was talking to me through the whole conversation. Through much of the conversation I was freezing up for a good 5 10 seconds looking for the proper words. It has happened once before but it is or for me is a scary thing.  I almost felt like someone had taped my mouth shut, or cut my vocal cords. I knew what needed to come out but nothing was there to come out.   It was a very sureal feeling for sure, some have asked if it was like an out of body experience. In a way I would say that it was but I couldn't do anything in my "natural body" or on the other plain. A very almost enlighment of an experience at the same time a very scary one.   I certainly could feel myself having a mini panic/anxiety attack. It ended after I was no longer frozen that's why I use term mini panic and anxiety attack it felt like it lasted longer than tru...

FRIENDS FAMILY SEIZURES

-
 You may be wondering why I am adding seizures to this one. It will become clear in a bit. First off I'll start with my friends, I have always had very amazing friends in my life. At the same time I was putting myself in a bubble because I had always been in a catholic school. Outside of that I wasn't sure how to approach everyone the proper way.   Then when it came to my family that was the egg shell area for sure. Especially when I had to look at my side with the Christian side. It was very tense, of course I had certain friends and family i wanted to tell ages ago that's where the next part enters.  The epilepsy and seizures of everything. I never wanted too or purposely try and keep it a secret. So it was in back of mind I knew it was there and would have my seizures increase. So now my seizures have calmed more than they were over past years.
