The everyday impact of epilepsy

[@michelleisabelle6502]

Epilepsy is so scary, especially when you have them in your sleep, I cant tell anyone how many times I've had a seizure and peed myself and woke up and was changed while my bf explained what happened, after they happen my body aches so bad, and all I wanna do is sleep, they happen for hours at a time and it sucks having them for 12+ hours, sometimes my body after goes limp for a small amount of time, its hard retaining memory, the depression and anxiety from this disorder is scary. I got diagnosed when I was 17, im 21. Idk anyone with epilepsy and no one ik will ever understand it but im thankful for the people who are here for me thru them.

[@jamesmcquade453]

How do you work? I have grand mals every so often (mainly in my sleep) and petit mals almost daily sometimes multiple times a day. I've been homeless multiple times. I have applied for disability but have been rejected after a year of waiting and struggling getting to appointments. I haven't found a medication that makes them better, only worse.

I like hearing other people explaining their lives with epilepsy cuz I feel like I really connect. Since being blessed (yea right lol) with epilepsy 2 months before I graduated high school in 2006, I have yet to meet another person with the same problem. My friends and family have been there for me since the beginning and yet, it's so hard to try to explain it to them. Do I know when I'm about to seize and if I do, how does it feel? What about during or afterwards? So badly I want to tell them everything but it's so hard to describe it that I have a hard time finding the perfect words. I LOVE it that these amazing people are here to help others through this.

[@truthteller3181]

I understand completely. It’s such a misunderstood illness. I also have yet to find a person who experience exactly what I do. However I believe we all ( epileptics/ seizure having ppl ) accept one another’s experience with understanding and empathy. There is a comfort/ belonging/ empowerment in hearing others stories. It’s hard to explain.

[@juanavargas7562]

Had epilepsy for 13 years now, diagnosed at 16. Over time one gets "used" to the new changes in life. And it's kind of frustrating to be honest. So I'm glad I came across this, since I finally feel that feeling of connection of a "finally others who understand" and not feel alone. Because even though my friends and family know of it, no matter how I explain of how it feels, how sick I feel after a seizure, how much it hurts when biting my tongue and when my entire body hurts. How scared I feel when the medicine starts to not work and have to get another medication added as well with higher dosage. They won't be able to understand. I had seizures mostly at night, only once during the day. I still remember the first seizure my family ever saw before diagnosis, "waking up" to see my mom on her knees crying next to my bed, then going back to "sleep"(another seizure) and wake up to now to both mom and dad. Never in my life had I ever seen the expression they had that time. After that day, mom would check on me various times at night.

[@EpilepsyAwarenessHub]

Life was grand as a toddler, going on weekend trips with my parents, playing with my friends and listening to grandma as she shared one inspiring story after another about the good old days. What more could a child ask for than the love and comfort of her family? Surprising life quickly took a turn for the worst and that pathway I was destined to journey became rocky as traumatic obstacles crossed my life path and took me on a different journey. A journey, one no child should have to experience. The Beginning At the age of five, I had contracted a sore throat and an ear infection. My mother had brought me to the doctor’s office that evening and the pediatrician had put me on penicillin and told my mother to have me rest in bed. No one thought much of it at the time. I rested in bed and I was on the penicillin for about ten days. On the tenth night when she put me to bed, my lips were more red than usual. The next morning at about 8:00 A.M., my mother woke up because she heard unusual noises coming from my room that sounded like I was choking on my saliva. She walked into my bedroom to find me in my bed turning blue and having a grand mal seizure. This was the first time I ever experienced a seizure. kzbin.info/door/OzqYUgTHdJqF-XuNH2qt5w

[@amybaril5848]

This is so touching for me... I've been diagnosed with jme ( juvenile myoclonic epilepsy) last year with four triggers of not eating sleeping too much too much caffeine or stress, it started when i was 15 1/2 i dropped on the floor thought nothing of it didn't have any body jerks or seizures. That was until i hit 19 i had more body jerks that came out of nowhere, then i had my first seizure. I went to a hospital to get an eeg test it didn't show anything back then, and kept having those episodes once or twice at most every month. I "treated" myself with booze also drugs to forget but would always come back, where i used to live everyone knew i had seizures and kept looking wishper to eachother "that's the girl" . I'd wear black clothes huge hoodies so no one would notice me and avoid people asking if i was okay/ what happened i wanted to avoid the sympathies or worries it made me feel uncomfortable also agitated i just wanted to be left alone, did not go out during the day only at night to get my fix. My mom told me to go live elsewhere, because she couldn't handle my seizures and my addiction eventually she moved out of her home telling me the main reason why she moved is because i gave her a bad reputation because of my seizures, i ended up moving in with my dad got sober. I'm taking medications i still suffer seizures once in awhile the doses had to become more potent several times, it made my dad depressed and felt like it was my fault. I now feel allot better, but i'm constantly afraid that my episodes might show up out of nowhere. Therefore i am always afraid of going out to socialize, do little tasks or simply going for a walk, it's embarrassing for me to accept who i am and what i have i feel like i'm not normal. To this day i am still learning to love myself and to realize this is not my fault. This video is helping me allot to realize there's always someone out there that understands it helps me everyday to gain self confidence. To the people in this video i want to thank them for being supporting, and open to talk about they're expiriences, also normalize epilepsy to help others like me it's very inspiring. ❤️

[@monserratlopez933]

Same here, I was diagnosed with epilepsy, mostly absence seizures when I was 7. When I 16 it mutated to jme after I started having body jerks in arms and legs. I have the same triggers, and as a teenager and now uni student it's a lot, cause all my life is studying late, stress, coffee to stay awake in class and wanting to drink and party. I've been changing dosis this month cause i started having more jerks and absences after my rutine eeg showed those things again. Now I have all this conflicting feeling of being thankfull that I have the treatment, but also in a rebel juvenile that wants to drink and party and sleep late and do all that without having myoclonies all morning the next day, the mugs in my house and my old phone are the victims of that mostly. I don't want to have breakfast because i spill things but have to cause not doing it triggers my seizures. So yeah, conflicted with my rithm of life and my triggers is a struggle, cause beyond partying and drinking, which I've always been responsible with my epilepsy, I go to bed late cause i have to study and read and work, and stress is an everyday thing in uni

[@HeyEveryoneItsMeagan]

I was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 12 and now I’m 21. I first had absence and then a year later I started having tonic-clonic, it’s that type of thing where no one understands unless they’re going through it. I always try to educate as much as I can which makes me happy. When I was in high school especially, I did not know anyone else who had epilepsy, it’s a very lonely feeling. My neurologist recommended me to an epilepsy camp provided from the epilepsy foundation. I was 15 when I first went and the age limit was 19. Best years of my life. If you are a parent especially, I definitely recommend putting your kid in an environment where they feel like they’re different. I made life long friends and I learned from camp that my epilepsy does not define me. I am more open about it and I no longer care what people say if they make jokes about it. Seriously, one of the best decisions I made in my life going to camp. Of course covid kind of messed things up, but once things start running again definitely go to camp or put your kids in camp or just surround yourself around people who know. Sometimes I feel my epilepsy was a blessing in disguise, I’ve learned to appreciate life more and grow a lot quicker than people my age.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 29. I had a stressful job at the time, and had my first seizure at work (focal seizure) that lasted maybe 10 seconds or so. I went to the doctor and was told maybe it was a panic attack related to my stressful job. It took me going back to the doctor multiple times before they did tests and determined I had epilepsy. I do have auras right before the focal seizures. I experience deja vu and then become confused and disoriented. It's very scary and frustrating... I worry that one day my seizures will get worse if I can't find the right meds or routine. It's all so unpredictable.

Oh man I've had complex partial seizures while riding my bike and riding horses, managing to stay on and keep riding. When I wake up I have no idea who I am or where I am. Then trying to gather myself and figure out how to get home alone is horrible. Having tonic clonic seizures in public is the worst as I often wet myself and hate waking up to people panicking and having to deal with ambulances, and then figure out how to get home. Living without a licence is so hard and I've received so much discrimination socially and professionally. I was unable to study or work for all of my 20s because of the seizures and lack of memory and there's so much of my life that I don't remember. I almost made it to 11 months seizure free this month, thinking id finally beat it and would get my licence back. Two days before my neuro appt I had a seizure which took me three days to recover from. I have no idea how I used to manage having them daily, weekly and monthly while still having somewhat of a life (if you can call it that). People have no idea how terrifying it is and they take so much for granted. On the plus side, when I was diagnosed as a teenager I was headed down a very dark path and it forced me to change my life. I have no idea where I would be now if it wasn't for that benefit, and all the loses that have resulted from my diagnosis.

Really though absence is said to be a few seconds mine has lasted an hour. I hate thinking back on the fact of being unconscious for an hour. #EpilepsyAwareness is important. 💜 Help anyone with epilepsy. I care for those out there like me. I know my voice sounds soft with confusion when I come out of them. I struggle to know if I'll have a seizure. for headaches I think when it's at the back I worry a little. Due to scar tissue, which was stretched as I grew, I believe that's why it hurts so much. I was born with fluid on my brain and when it got removed it left scar tissue. I spent 9 weeks in paderborn hospital.

I’ve had epilepsy since I was 4 and mild cerebral palsy. I could be wrong but I think it might have to do with been born 2 weeks late. The abillical cord was already broken b4 I was born and my parents were only 18 and 19 and mum did and still does loved to party a lot. Every time there was a argument in the house and my epilepsy was mentioned During my childhood I blamed myself and the epilepsy on the reasons like. 1. Why my mum wouldn’t get a job 2. Why my dad turned out to be grouchy instead mr happy Chappy 3. Why I shouldn’t get a job 4. Why no one believes on wat I tell them and so on. It went that bad that by the time i was 19 going on 20 I was close to suicidal . But I wanted to talked to my specialist about how to try and get a job. Not only for getting more dosh but experience wat the world is really about like show people that us epileptic and any other disability people are no different from people that don’t have a disability.

My last one was in November 2020. I've had it since I was 11, but my mother was convinced that I was satanic. She blamed heavy metal for my being diagnosed with it. Turned out, I developed it when I hit puberty due to the fact that that idiot woman wanted so badly for me to be a clone of her and my sister that she drugged me up on Ritalin when I was 6 and never even had me tested for ADHD.

Hi David Most jobs, are possible for people with epilepsy. It all depends on things like their seizure type, seizure frequency, and any health and safety risks. We have information on the work section of our website to help people who are looking for work. www.epilepsy.org.uk/living/work Regards Diane Helpline Team

Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota In the US, health insurance that covers treatment at the necessary epilepsy centers determines our seizure control. If your seizures are not controlled, get a second opinion at one of these locations. One, no matter what epileptologist sees you, the team will have epileptologists with twenty years of experience in controlling epileptic seizures involved. Two, these epileptologists focused on epilepsy during their residency instead of the much broader neurology. Three, these level four epilepsy centers are composed of teams of epileptologists that use their hospitals to consider other health conditions that may affect epilepsy. Yes, neurologists can help some. However, the rest of us require a team of epileptologists with experience and have hospitals as a resource. Unfortunately, neurologists or epileptologists at other hospitals will confidently tell you there is nothing else that can be done or to consider surgery. If you have the right insurance, get your second opinion from the hospital in the specific city above.
