THUNDER STORMS AND EPILEPSY

-

  I'm a person who loves has always loved thunderstorms all my life. I'm no sure what it is about them the sound of the actual thunder and the rain pelting on the ground. I've always not sure why found relaxing. In some ways thunderstorms help me concentrate on things I'm working on, things such as my reading audiobooks writing. Or if I'm working out helps me there.

 Now there is the flip side thunderstorms are a trigger for my seizures quite often. I'm.not sure why might be the weather combined with the thunder or just the thunder itself. I do know that heat and changes in weather are a trigger so it could be a combination of both. A combo of the actual sudden weather change and the thunder as I've seen some say certain sounds are a trigger.

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.
