oh, ok...
Hmmmm....ok...
Thanks. How is it, that you 'used to' have Epilepsy, but you don't anymore?...
An addendum to my previous reply, I stupidly was telling the friend's fiance that, my friend may not be allowed to drive due to epileptic seizures before getting a drivers' license, or it could be...
Well, Now she has to know. Because she had major brain surgery for Hydrocephalus, and as a result of the surgery, she also has Epilepsy. Now her intentions of learning how to drive, will have to be...
Karen, I have been having a hard time the last week. While a good friend of mine is recovering from major surgery, I have not been able to bike much due to the heat. I went out today, and my heart...
While the intubation tube was removed during the surgery, my friend can't talk right now, apart from mouthing words to her fiance. I know they want my friend to rest. But I don't remember being...
Thanks, I just wish she would wake up. But they keep sedating her....
My friend had to have brain surgery. Now, She has one health problem I have. I just want her to get better. She has been through too much, these past two weeks, with medical incompetence repeatedly...
I don't know why it is, but even in the prison system regardless of minimum, medium, maximum, or even Super-max prison, if an inmate did something to a child, they may come out of the prison in a...
It sounds more, like you need to work on YOU. Regardless of what he might(or might not) do....
The only thing to be scared of, in terms of your Epilepsy, is stupidity. I have the same fear. That when I am out on my racing bike(Tour de France-style bike), I have a seizure, and the person who...
I am glad, that you still are. Yes, He is a douchebag for what he did. But he didn't hide it from you. You sound like you have a better heart, than his ex-wife does. If you still have feelings for...
I am praying for you....
I wonder why the doctor felt you would suddenly have another seizure after fourteen years?...
Her fiance already showed her the pictures. She was crying uncontrollably. I told him, when he told me that, that I would have been surprised if she didn't. Because, When my (ex)wife n' I lost our...
The doctors had to take the baby. It only lived 40mins., before it died. My friend's body wasn't trying to expell the pregnancy. But to expell the toxins created from the pregnancy....
I hope so, too. Because her fiance has told me, that when he has held my friend's hand several times she has had an extremely scared look on her face. The doctors are still trying to figure out why,...
One person on an e-mail discussion list I am on, mentioned Prednisone. I know it is a steroid. If that will help my friends lungs, the doctors should use it. But I won't know until my friend's fiance...
The doctors are saying, that they are not sure, where the liquid is coming from, that is accumulating in my friends lungs. I immediately started thinking pneumonia. This is on top of the continual...
I was on Tegretol for twenty years 16-36, before it started to become ineffective. I was on 2x200mg twice daily. when I switched to it from the combo of Dilantin n' Phenobarbital. I switch to...
Now she has fluid in her lungs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Why I am I stewing over it. Because, My (ex)wife said something just as harsh, before I divorced her. It went right to the core of, who I am as a person....
Hmmmm.........
Me too....
I hope so, too. I will have to think about a remark she made to me last week, before she collapsed. That could possibly be because of how the pregnancy was affecting her mentally. She accused me of...
She is not out of the woods, completely. The toxins in her body, are still causing the excess fluid in her cranial cavity....
SHE WOKE UP!!!!!!!! I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW HAPPY THAT MAKES ME!!!!!!...
Karen, I hope you are right. I have not heard from him in over 24hrs.....
I don't have 'migraines'. I do have a congenital brain aneurysm, that I have had for 45yrs.. Did you have a second MRA to confirm the findings of the first one?...
AMeyers Yes, The detail to be consistent about, is to make sure you have a certain amount of milligrams in your system. Each pill has a 'life'. That could be 24-36hrs. So if you miss a dose, you will...
Angela, Seizures can happen for a number of reasons. Not just epilepsy. Diabetics can have a seizure. When actor River Phoenix died, had a seizure caused by the illegal drugs he was taking....
The first hospital, is some dumb local(to her home) hospital that isn't very good at medicine. I am waiting for another update tonight. I am presuming my friend's fiance is swamped with calls from my...
I told my family, after what I have been through, I told my family, I didn't want to father anymore kids. So there was no reason for me to get a vasectomy. They did try to convince me again. But I...
Karen, I am like you. Not necessarily in terms of marital age difference(ex-wife 3mos. older, ex-fiance 1yr. 4mos. younger, present fiance 9mos. older), but in terms of losing the taste for it. Beer...
Yes, It could be, because she is sick. I still don't know, whether she is going to survive, or not. That has me sad all the time. I will try enjoy my anniversary....
Teal, That is a lot to cope with before you are 30yrs.-old. The neurologists' should have given you an answer. But since they aren't, you may need to do all the research yourself....
I am still dealing with emotional rejection on account of my health like I said, when I started this 'thread'. I was even feeling suicidal all morning. I did talk to my fiance today. But only for...
Ameyers, I am with you. I would be too scared to taper off....
Call your doctor....
I know the fear. My fear isn't so much of having a seizure. But having a seizure in front of someone that can't cope emotionally with, not only seeing someone have a seizure, but also not moving...
Gemma, I can't understand why no one has replied to your message. I was diagnosed as an infant/toddler. I am 45yrs.-old., like you I never had a teenage life. The teenage life I did have, I lived...
Her fiance also told me, my friend may not go back to her part time job for another month. Of course, she will remain intubated while she is still in a coma. One thing, that is an indirect(yet...
I think I overreacted. I heard from him this morning. My friend is on heavy antibiotics and still intubated. Hopefully now, she will start to pull out of the coma....
Karen, Now her fiance is accusing me of trying to wreck their relationship. So, I bet, I will not hear if my friend pulls out of her coma, or not. I am not happy to say the least. This is typical...
Now, Since she is in a coma, I am not dwelling on what she said. But just praying that she comes out of the coma....
It wasn't in this forum, I don't think....
I am emotionally setting aside, what she said, in order to focus on her recovery....
Karen, I have been in 5yr.(Friday will be our fifth anniversary) long distance relationship with a woman that lives out in New Mexico. She has accepted me without question. The key is she has OCD....
I am trying. I feel like I am on the precipice of another emotional breakdown. This time specifically and only to do with her. While I want her to come out of the coma, she said one of the most...
