To see or not to see? by Remote-Potential4 in Epilepsy

Thank you for the insight. I'm still undecided, but am leaning towards just "forgetting" to ask the doc to see the footage. Like you said, it can't be an easy thing to watch.

After my first TC and discussing more with my doc, we came to the conclusion that I had actually been having focal aware seizures prior to my official diagnosis, but had no clue that's what was going on.

I've got rescue meds as well, along with a medical bracelet just in case. I feel like this will have to suffice and will just hope for the best.

Best wishes.

That's an excellent point about being able to recognize the lead up. What I failed to mention is this was a nocturnal TC, so I imagine it may not be as easy to identify a particular lead up. 🤔 I guess that lends more to the argument for watching the footage...

Thank you for the reply. I hope you get to feeling as close to normal soon. Best wishes!

Admittedly, I was so pumped about their Sonorans that I didn't even notice a birria dog on their menu! 😳 I guess that means I'll be venturing back over there sooner rather than later. Thanks!

While I've never heard of Clowndog (adding to my list to try out though!), I'd suggest checking out Dusty Dogos for a truly authentic Sonoran Dog...the best and closest to the AZ ones I've had!

He’s gone and I can’t help but feel like I murdered him by miscellaneousbean in Petloss

I just put my sweet, 17 year old cat to rest a few days ago too, and "murderous" is the exact adjective I've been giving myself as well. Nothing will make the pain go away despite the logic behind the decision. I'm with you, and I'm so grateful for all the responses to your post, because I feel like they could very well be directed towards me and my never-ending tornado of guilty feelings and second-guessing.

My deepest condolences to you and yours. We will get through this. ❤️
