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,
