November 14, 2011

For the past few days, I will admit that I have been internally stressed. That being said, I have been having more than one seizure a day BUT it is still very mild. Mild meaning no more than 5. Only one day I had about 5 seizures which was yesterday. Despite that, once again I would have a seizure right before it's time to take my medicine. Today my coworker pointed out to me that last Thursday when I had my second seizure of the day, when I was talking to someone, I went into a seizure and he (the coworker) came in where I left off. Well during my seizure, I apparently nodded my head and looked away as if while he was talking to a customer, I was agreeing lol... Once again, AUTOPILOT. smh...

Alot has been on my mind. My concerns, my problems, and the eagerness to resolve it has made me stressed. The stress ofcourse triggers the seizures. I lose my appetite...there are times i honestly don't have it in me to want to eat. I don't want to say it's depression...just more like, "to busy thinking to stop and eat".  It's ok though........

Jesus will work it out.

November 10, 2011

I will admit that today, I have had maybe about less than 10 seizures. After today, I will try to do better with literally keeping count of the amount. After 2:30pm, My seizures finally stopped. This morning , I popped out of my sleep and ran to go to the bus stop. I HAD TO BE AT WORK ON TIME. It literally took me approximately 10 minutes. So maybe due to stress. Also, lately I haven't been eating properly. I'm broke. what can I do??... So that could also be a possibility as to why. That's all I can think of for right now. I have a headache and also been getting alot of those typically 2-3x a day. You know what?... its actually after I take my meds. Hmmm...

Stay Tuned,

For the past month, I have at least one seizure in the morning. NO matter how consistent I am with taking my medication, I have one. Yes i know... I will talk to the doctor about that...

Anyways... as i was washing my face, I had the moisturizer on my right. I ended up having a seizure and apparently I guess, I reached over put some lotion in my hand and continued to rub my face with the lotion. As I snapped out of my seizure, i realized i was literally almost done rubbing it on my face! Gracious... my body is truly going on autopilot.

On previous days that I can not remember (dates), I have other incidences of me doing things in "autopilot" mode. One time, while I was at work, I had a lot of things in my arms. In my right arm, a stack of 5 notebooks, and in my left, a laptop computer with a battery in my hand. Seizure moment: I apparently placed my books down (neatly might I add) back on the desk and then leaned over and put the computer back on the desk JUST as it was right before I picked it up. The only reason how I knew that it really did happen is because the sound of the computer landing on the desk snapped me out of it. I knew I leaned over because i obviously wasn't in the posture as I previously was. This occured in the afternoon. I couldn't help but snicker to myself and NO... no one was in the room. It's funny how my body made sure that nothing fell on the floor and it somehow attempted to not have it broken by having my body lean forward.

Another moment: I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and right after the topic ended, I had a seizure and I responded by saying, "I know right...MmmmMMMmmm" and started to shake my head as if I was aware of what was being disapproved. Crazy right??

One time, This same friend said i was in the car with her and as the song was playing, I had a seizure and during the seizure, I lowered my head, started to play with the bottom of my shirt as I recall her saying and then followed on with lifting my head lightly and started singing along with the song that was playing on the radio. Smh...

There are plenty more incidences that I don't want to overwhelm whomever. Just been observing that over the past 18 years, my body has progressed in getting stronger with being on "autopilot"...just in "cruise control" lol... (hmm that's a nice way of putting it).

Aiming to be Seizure Free,
