Hi all
I'm pretty new to all this I only found out recently that i have epilepsy. After suffering two seizures. I don't no all the details of names etc yet as im still waiting on my mri and eeg tests.
Both times i have had my fits i have felt funny for around half an hour before and suffered mini seizures at this point (one time i was in a taxi and when i realised what was going on i was highly embarrassed)
Then the main seizure will come and last 2-3 minutes, afterwards i have no memory of anything including who my partner is or my sons name, and i feel like crap for a couple of days.
I also had to have my thyroid removed and they just cant seem to get my levels level! which is a pain and has caused me depression too.
I can deal with all these things, but what does worry me is that the 2nd seizure i had, It was my little boy who found me on the bathroom floor, and that really upset me because he's only 3 and it must have scared the crap out of him.
I have also applied for DLA, but am not sure what to expect bk from them? I was already out of work when these fits started happening because i have to care for my partner who was in a bad motorbike accident which has left him with no use in his left arm and shoulder and he's in constant agony.
I hope no one minds me rambling on but no one else i know has any problems like this, and im starting to think if i have this many problems by 23 what will i be like at 50 or will i even be here???
