Re: [epilepsy] hi



Nancy,

Yes I do get disability. I would never be able to make it without the
medical card to pay for my medicine and doctor visits. I am not married, but
I would never be able to make it without the help of my boyfriend and
family.I have been very blessed to have somebody around the times when I
have had seizures.Somebody can not be here all the time, but that is very
seldom. My boyfriend can usually tell by looking at me and the way my eyes
look whether it is safe for me to be by myself or not.As for my eyesight, my
vision is not the best in the world. I have wore glasses since I was in
elementary school, but I can see ok.I rarely have headaches since I have
been on Keppra and Neurontin for the seizures. I used to have some pretty
bad ones that I would have to sleep off.I started having seizures when I was
a baby. I am 40 now.I went down a set of stairs when I was 6 months old. I
started having them after that happened. I get a bad taste in my mouth a lot
of the time before I have the seizure. I grit my teeth and slobber a lot. I
can not remember much about them, but my boyfriend tells me that I mumble a
lot and try to do things I don't know I am doing. They last a few minutes
usually, but every now and then a little bit longer.Stress and hormones seem
to cause a lot of the seizures I have.Things I have no control over. Your
seizures sound like they are dangerous for you to be by yourself. Do you
ever feel them coming on?Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Well I guess
I will talk to you later, write anytime. Take care of yourself.
