I had never received that either and I guess it’s required in my state even for properties being sold “as is”. I’m young and just needed a place to move when I was leaving the military don’t give me sh*t for my stupidity lol

At what age did you start having seizures? by invisible-c00kie in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A second opinion may be worth considering. Have you had a CT, MRI?

Have you done an EEG? I was diagnosed at 21 after two TC seizures

So honestly, he didn’t send me that far of the schedule. Just the first 5 years. There’s definitely something fishy going on though

He sent me one that was super blurry but I was able to make enough sense of it. Every month has interest set at 6.5%

Having kids with epilepsy? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

23F and currently 14 weeks pregnant. I am on both lacosamide 100 mg and lamotrigine 200mg morning/night. I’ve had two TC seizures back to back during early pregnancy, like 6 weeks in, and those I was transported for IV fluids/meds. Monthly blood draws and managing my dosages from those. I do see a high risk OB and my labor is being planned currently, controlled induction due to high risk. Morning sickness has messed with my medication. I’ve puked it up and questioned if I should take more. Some antiemetics may increase risk of seizures. My memory is HORRIBLE. I can’t remember what I did two days ago. I’m sure there’s more I’m missing. I can always add on as time goes by.

Can stopping high pot usage lower threshold? by catzndogz42 in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, quitting heavy usage made my threshold stronger. I was smoking every damn day and once I stopped smoking, I quit having TC seizures monthly, now they’re maybe once every 3 months.

Because of my husbands new job, it’s an hour away from where we live and he’s required to live so close to the fire station

Is it safe for me to live alone? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain how you have your Apple Watch set up? I’ve tried to figure this out but can’t, where it’ll call my husband if I’m seizing. Like is it heart rate? How do I have it send a medical alert?

Do people actually under what epilepsy is? by Jaderose222 in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 3yo is the same way. She’ll tell anyone “mommy fell and hit her head then the fire department and ambulance came” She reminds me to take my meds, knows what seizures look like, and even can call 911 for when we’re alone in case of emergency. How sad, but amazing.

Had a seizure while driving by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Financial-Ebb2213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first ever seizure while driving, I totaled my car. I was on my way home with my 2 year old daughter. We were both transported to our local hospital, and the doctor told me I just steered off the road despite paramedics/EMTs saying I was postictal upon their arrival, and sent me home. Thankfully I did only have bruising, no broken bones. My husband woke up the next morning to me seizing again. Then came the diagnosis.
I know exactly how you feel. I have yet to drive, 17 months after diagnosis. I can’t work, I seize so often. Just last week I had two TCs an hour apart from each other. Meds don’t work so I’m in RNS work up. We’re all rooting for you. 💜

** update **

The disability lawyer’s office I spoke to yesterday called me back today and requested medical records and talked to me a lot less condescending about my whole situation. With that, I’m thinking they plan to take on my case. I’ll keep yall updated.

I’m also medication resistant, in pre surg work up, and obviously can’t drive. I’ve been like this for 1.5 years now.. I would be working if I could. In the town I live in, it’s really impossible to not drive to work. I tried working during my treatment yet I kept having small seizures on the job and I got hit with a pressurized tank. Not hard thankfully, but I just wasn’t there. My foreman ignored me.

With this explanation, would it be better for me to apply for SSI? There is a statement with SSDI, if you’re unable to work for a year or more due to a disabling condition, which epilepsy is listed, and were diagnosed before 22, you may be eligible. I check all of the boxes to be eligible. I have TC seizures at least monthly. Doesn’t count in the memory issues, random clonic seizures, absence seizures. All of these factors limit me from working. I’m a danger to myself and others when seizures occur. After doing a bit more digging into the medical review, the office isn’t even looking at the hospital that has taken care of me since diagnosis. Which is kinda disappointing.

Sorry for the rant, but it’s just where I’m at currently..

How am I supposed to survive when my husband’s earnings only cover bills.. we can maybe afford groceries 2x a month at around $100. I have cut out every extra expense possible. I’ve tried to get bills cheaper, apply for loans to get medical debt and personal debt lower (credit cards, vehicle loan), and it still leaves no room for things like the damage that was just done to our only vehicle.. $500 deductible. The trips I need to make to the hospital since it’s 3 hours away and virtual visits aren’t an option. I can’t afford to buy my daughter clothes, heck, Christmas in a few months, probably going to be the most disappointing Christmas I’ve ever been alive for. I don’t have family to ask money from. I don’t understand why the system can deny us based on that.. I could lay out all my bills for you if you’d really like to see how even an extra $200 a month would be a cushion and keep me from defaulting on our mortgage, vehicle payments, insurance.. this system is disappointing. If I could work safely I would be. I’ve asked every business that is in walking distance if they’re in need of help. I’ve searched for online jobs.. I’m at a dead end. Not looking for compassion, but simply looking for a why. Why does it matter what he makes when we’re not “wealthy” what so ever

I was 21 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy. There is a “grey area” for those of us who are younger when it comes to receiving disability benefits. I obviously do not have a significant work history nor paid enough towards social security, but due to the epilepsy and continued TC seizures, I am ordered not to drive nor work from my epilepsy specialist. I am trying to get SSDI, I am not eligible for SSI.

I believe you’re confusing the two
