POSTICTAL DAY

-

  The day of a seizure is truly a rough one as we all know. A few days after we are in our little daze so to speak, not quite ourselves at all. Gaps in memory very tired feeling and no concentration ability. 

 I find the one that stresses me out the most the concentration as I am both an avid reader and writer. Depending on how bad my seizures are i may need to reread or relisten to my book. Like from yesterday.

 Yesterday was a particularly bad day for me I had a huge cluster of absent seizures and it destroyed my day. Has even wiped me today for most part. I even had to restart a book I was listening too as I needed to refresh. Fortunately I remained 80% but still needed to refresh so I was able to listen at a faster speed than normal. So I refresh pick things up again 

 Love these days for another reason. These are always my days total rest as mom dad know it best I need it. I just am glad I only get bad clusters maybe twice year on average.

    Feel for you as it's just how I get. I find that I can't even concentrate on phone for texts or pc, my spelling becomes awful and it doesn't help that I'm dyslexic to, thank goodness for predictive! Well that sort of helps but not in seizure mode.

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.
