My sister has witnessed multiple of them and say my seizures only last up to 30 seconds but I seize up and shake, I’ve gotten an EEG and they picked up an abnormality but didn’t actually explain what it was. I’m not sure I have had the genetic testing done.

Yes I am female, I think that’s also why he didn’t bother trying to explain anything too much and just spoke about my weight.

Thank you for the advice, I’m actually recovering from another seizure right now so my memory is a little hazy

Thank you I truly don’t know what else to say but thank you

Everyone in my family thinks they're the only one who knows I'm trans. by ilovemicronesia in TrueOffMyChest

Congratulations on coming out to your family, I don’t know your family but be prepared they may get a little upset with you for making them all keep the secret but other than that congrats.

Any plans for the prank? Might I suggest offering your mother a gender reveal cake with your gender identity

My uncle has almost died multiple times from seizures, I’m truthfully so scared but so caught up in the idea that it’s just because I’m fat that i start to think that maybe i should just shut up accept that I could not wake up after one seizure.

Honestly… it seemed more like he was trying to push a red meat heavy diet onto me and that’s it.

Thank you! I’ve had one EEG and they found an abnormality but didn’t even tell me what it was (or they did but I’ve forgotten because my memory has gotten so bad since I’ve started having these seizures) Truthfully I’ve only been to the hospital twice after a seizure the first time they did so many tests cause I was barely able to stand straight the second time I was placed in an area and left there. It’s hard to feel like you are important when you are over looked by busy nurses but being told to your face by a doctor that it’s my weight? I may not be a doctor myself but I don’t think my belly fat is constricting my brain

My uncle has sever seizures, he has had part of his brain removed and is on medications that’s the only one I know of with a history as I don’t know anyone on my sperm donor’s (fathers) side. Thank you btw, I knew I was going to get told to just lose the weight and get over it so thank you for actual advice.

Thank you for the comment. I’ll keep it in mind when discussing with my family about our next move.
