I have a lot of opinions, and will respect yours, even if we disagree. We can still do that
I have Epilepsy and like to talk to others that also fight it.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@StevenDorsher Sorry man

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze And a large number of them that don't understand Epilepsy. I developed Epilepsy at 47. My first neurologist pointed out that epilepsy is a child's medical issue. He said I was having a nervous issue. It wasn't until my second neurologist did I find out I had #epilepsy. Love u all

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze VNS sorry

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze So any info that our Community can offer about INS and its efficacy is worth talking about. As an adult with #epilepsy is this a path to follow? Seizures are horrible however another surgery with side effects could be worse.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze @MikeKnoxComedy Thanks to @MikeKnoxComedy, @Mackenzie_J_o for their experiences with INS. Jo's issues I was fearing because if there is a side effect I'll get it. Also, a large percent of my seizures are Tonic Clonic, and both of you seem to have had Focal. Still hope others share INS #epilepsy

@drtintin99 @Carter65Michael @missreikoashida I was just meeting with my neurosurgeon Wednesday. Both are options and the success rates matcb close to your rates. Now the time to decide is needed.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze #epilepsy My doctor has proposed a VNS system to help control my seizures. This is the box on the neck that activates 1 Minute and sleeps 4 minutes. Does anyone have experience with this treatment option? And how does it sound?

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze The MRI is a double check for the doctors. Wait to the misery of the Stereo EEG comes in. 16 needles in the brain. Just came out 1/27, so I can say it sucks but the data was worth it.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@stargazer7621 Amen!!

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze worst public seizure since I began my epilepsy journey today. Right in the middle of Walmart's soda aisle. Luckily on a scooter and with someone, but yeah, full Tonic Clonic in the Soda and chips aisle. #epilepsy sucks

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@ericareport I am in no way a MAGA person but please check all your facts before making a post guaranteed to generate anger. Cotton just wants to add victims from another bombing. As a follower of you I have to say this is the first time I think your Trump hate blinded you we expect better

@Lingzi_W My biggest fear is doing something that would ever make me ashamed to look in the mirror every morning. My Grandfather always said "every action in your life you will answer for every morning when you shave, so live a good life."

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@StevenDorsher I was in a long distance relationship for 3 years with my now wife (across the Atlantic). If you and your partner are happy then nothing else matters. Love has no range.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze #epilepsy is not a choice but a continuous battle

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@BrainAblaze Another issue is seizures can cause other issues. I've had so many I need to have a knee surgery. I have heard of similar issues from others. #epilepsysucks

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@StevenDorsher Feel better brother.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

3 seizures in one day has to be one of the things Dante left out of his book. I demand a rewrite. #epilepsy #epilepsysucks

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@1Purplewarrior5 I definitely did. I ended up putting a chair in every room so if I have seizure I can get up on my own. Small step but it helped.

[Factjunkie @Factjunkie]

@anarcourier Fingers crossed for you.
