@BrainAblaze Yes. They treated them seriously when I was born w/ CP/Epilepsy/Hydrocephalus from a stroke in utero & in 2019 when my meds died on me for the first time in a decade.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@WhatHurtsNowEgg @BrainAblaze My mom did the same. Like, I have rescue spray within hands reach & auras. No need to worry as long as someone’s close by! 😅

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@stephileptic @BrainAblaze @DCClifford First thing I get back is emotional control post postictal 🤬😭😂😅

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@stephileptic @BrainAblaze @DCClifford Yep! I hear ringing near my left ear due to my right temporal lobe damage.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@FloppinZack @BrainAblaze And, that first one since getting the med dosage right in 2023 was confusing. Got up, took meds & boom 🤯! 🤔

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze @FloppinZack @DCClifford A helmet pressure I can’t take off, panic like I missed a step & then I administer rescue spray (5 years ago, I’d drop & flop).

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Eating outside if out, going outside for a min till a headache subsides, staying away from people who don’t respect my triggers.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze No. Just frustration when the refill is late & im nearly out of meds. Otherwise, I’m leading the appointment. 😂

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Auras, the fact there’s many many different seizure types even though I have the medical show kind, that anything can happen during a seizure, & there’s nasal rescue spray now to avoid all that which you should ask your doc for.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Thanks again for sharing!

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze @kaileyh175 is one of the best out there!

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Neurosurgeons were the first giving me advice after shunt revisions when I was little prior to neurologists. Everyone else has snake oil cures.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@FloppinZack Angry tears while cussing like a MF, horny as ever & sore (But, not in the fun way). Yay right TLE!

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@FloppinZack I didn’t know I was an actor too! 🤔

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Mine brought it up right before we decided on Briviact at last (which we should’ve tried first since I was on Keppra). He brought up surgery & SUDEP which I said was unnecessary as I have decades of records.

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze I take pics to remember what I ate, write everything down & film when necessary. Another thing #CerebralPalsy & #Hydrocephalus taught me to adapt to

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze If don’t seize in front of them, I do run into a lot of furniture! #CerebralPalsy

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@BrainAblaze Understanding that Every. Body. Is. Different thanks to @kaileyh175 & others & remembering that I usually don’t seize if my meds are correct (Unlike last year w/ the pharmacy error & pandemic).

[Patch @patchcomedy310]

@sweet_panda5 @BrainAblaze There was someone who wanted me to move where the weather would’ve been a problem for my spastic/ataxic CP by saying it’d “Just be us.” Like, no way was I leaving my docs etc for someone w/ no medical literacy pre reflex seizures. We need to put our health first.
