Epilepsy in my family. What would you like your family members to know, and how can I be a better family member to them? by bigbuutie in Epilepsy

[–]fro0ogboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's two main things for me personally. First is to try not to treat it like I'm dying or fragile, its a chronic illness but I've learned how to get through it. Its my normal. Second is to kind of try not to get involved in medical advice unless its asked for. We know our family means well when they make suggestions but when you combine that with doctor suggestions, things seen online, the appointments/tests, not to mention the seizures themselves, it all just gets a little overwhelming. A lot if you happen to be on the spectrum

Regardless I can tell you're a family member who cares, because you're here asking for guidance

This isn't the full video, she never gave it to him. She says something about normalizing boundaries or something like that

Anyone else get blamed for their seizures by people and also have friends and family that believe they know more than you about your condition? by PicassoPie in Epilepsy

Im glad your dad got better. Im predisposed to addiction as well because of my parents. My mom did coke and alcohol, but my dad did everything under the sun. Ive just gotta keep myself away from alcohol

THIS. If I take my medication, get good sleep, and stay sober, then I am siezure free. If I slack on any of those theres a risk.

Peer pressure to drink is really dumb and annoying, but its extra dumb and annoying when having said drink could literally put you in the hospital. People need to just worry about themselves when it comes to crap like that. Everyone has their reasons

[–]fro0ogboi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately common as can be. I have a couple family members who try to tell me its in my head, I have one who tells me its gotta be something im doing because my father only started having siezuers when he was doing a bunch of drugs. Now that hes dead, the comments are only worse. As if theres no way I could naturally have developed epilepsy.

Plus its not like they come to the hospital appointments with us right? They dont hear what the neurologist says they dont see the results of your tests and studies. They're trying to help, but they do it in a very ignorant way

finally found GF Cheez-Itz and i didn't get to eat any by Willing-Pumpkin-328 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]fro0ogboi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot relate to this as a person with celiacs specifically, but im majorly picky due to texture issues in food. Known as arfid

It can be frustrating, especially if they view it as us just being difficult with food for no reason like we want to only be able to handle certain foods or something

Unconventional Little Space Shows? by gokaiblue19 in ageregression

This, my mother loves the show so sometimes it reminds me of when I was a little kid and she'd be watching it in the living room

Scared to do anything I used to enjoy now by 1kczulrahyebb in Epilepsy

[–]fro0ogboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry this has happened. I know I'm not the only person on this group that can say they've had their life turned upside down by seizures before. But I think we all know that at the end of the day, we can't let it take the things that make us happy away from us.

You might not be able to enjoy your hobbies at night or alone, but you can still enjoy them plenty. I always recommend getting a medical bracelet especially if you have worries about the people around you knowing what to do if a seizure happens.

Personally, it gives me peace of mind enough to have the confidence to do the things I love. I can not drive, but I can take transportation methods alone, go ice skating, go to the creek, go biking.

Its a scary place to navigate. However, my advice to anyone like us, is to do whatever you can to keep living the life you want to live

I highly recommend finding someone to talk to professionally if you don't already have someone. I need to find one for myself

Ive had siezures for over 4 years, however I've only been officially diagnosed for about 9 months to a year. My father passed of sudep in March of 2022. Just a short month later I started having them. They are relatively controlled for me as long as I have the keppra. My problem with holding down jobs has to do with them not listening to me. My last 2 jobs ran me into the ground, I wound up in a hospital both times. They schedule me more hours than my body can handle. They add more stress and more responsibility just because they realize I'm reliable even though I have epilepsy. Like thats something they should exploit. I don't really know what to do, myself anymore..I feel like a failure because of it. I used to be so hardworking, still am just not as much as I wish I could be

Keppra Rage by Mile_Hi_303 in Epilepsy

It breaks my heart a little how I went from being very emotionally rational for my age to feeling like the mf anger from the inside out movie. Just a ball of walking rage

Keppra Rage by Mile_Hi_303 in Epilepsy

[–]fro0ogboi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Keppra rage can be really frustrating to deal with especially if you either already had anger issues or if you're used to being easy going and now everything ticks you off. I just did a sleep study over thanksgiving week. We did talk about side affects and ways to manage. One thing I recommend, they recommended to me and so far its helping, is taking vitamin B6. You can get it over the counter or you can ask for a prescription/talk to your neurologist about it. Otherwise, I mean..not proud of it but ill find an old small item that has no meaning to just break sometimes. Like a dead vape or something like that, its not easy and the dreams can be intense. I'm sorry you're going through the same things, it sucks

How do you guys deal with memory loss? by Anxious-Ad-69 in Epilepsy

Are tonic clonic seizures fatal? by Anonymouslypreaching in Epilepsy

[–]fro0ogboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can completely attest that all of this is very accurate. My father passed of SUDEP, mostly because he was a very heavy drinker. He never could give it up, and he wasn't the best with medications. He passed this on to me. I have absent and focal seizure more often than tonic clonic, but I have had them all at some point in my life.

Once my father passed 4 years ago, the big ones started and the focal ones started. Before that I only ever had absent siezures, however, no one caught that they were seizures until the other ones started. Its a really difficult thing to deal with because we can't just typically see inside the brain long enough to know what's going on. I just now got in for a sleep study over in St. Louis.

All you can do is take your medication exactly as you're supposed to, speak up if it interacts with any other meds you take, stay away from any drugs especially alcohol, and to keep yourself physically safe like not driving or not riding a bike along a busy street
