Hi itsme_imhere85,
Welcome to the group. First off, you are among friends here who really can relate to your situation! I'm one of them (smile). Most of my seizures over the years where complex partial seizures. I usually had 1-7 seizures on average each month.
Now (smile), you asked what will you be like when you turn 50 (smile)! Well, wish I was that age (big smile)! Can't say what you will be like when you become younger than I am now. I'm 51 and at my young age. I've been working at my current full time job for 22 years now. I play tennis 3 times a week (sometimes 4), very active outside during the summer. Days are to short to do all I wish I had the time to do. Yea my head is grey, but its a full head of hair (big smile)! Though I've had epilepsy 33 years now with my seizures not under control most those years. I was still out all I could to playing tennis and bicycling all I could. I've always enjoyed doing allot of walking also. So, you wonder about when you are 50, I think about later years for me (smile). Again, welcome to the group (smile). Take care, keep a smile on your face.

> 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???
