[epilepsy] Let's give it a name




Several weeks ago I watched a story on TV that pertain to the medical
condition known as 'Tourette's Syndrome'. And while I was listening to
what was being talked about, I heard two words that definitely caught my
attention.

Now many of us know about, or have heard the suggestion, of keeping a
camcorder charged up and handy in order to be able to record what
someone might be doing if it appears they are having a seizure. For
individuals who might be experiencing seizures while they're asleep, set
something up in order to record a video of what the person might be
doing while they're asleep. Sleep on top of the covers and have enough
light on, and have the camcorder or whatever else is being used, located
in a position so the person's entire body can be seen in the video. For
ladies and girls, instead of wearing a nightgown to bed, wear some
pajama pants or whatever else you prefer to wear, in order for the legs
to be seen in the video.

Many of you have also heard about, or know about, what's called a
"seizure diary", where you keep track of pretty much everything you, or
someone else, has done or is doing, throughout the entire day, by
writing down as many details as you can imagine, writing it all down on
paper in hopes of trying to notice a repeated pattern of what a person
might be experiencing during their seizures.

So what were those two words I heard of while watching that story on TV?
Those two words were "Video Diary". Those two words gave me the idea of
what we could call the video recordings we are trying to create in order
to have a video of someone having a seizure.

What do you think? Does this sound like a good idea as for what we can
call our video recordings of someone having a seizure?
