I'm actually unsure if this belongs here or not, but I've been suffering from seizures since the end of '06 [View all]

This is due to a TBI from either a bacteria or virus. I've been on different medications throughout this time. The ones which I've been on the longest mostly work (along with other meds), but I've had full body seizures which have broken through.

It's... scary when I have them (the large ones): a lapse in memory and uncontrolled movement of my body. I only know when I've had one when someone else has told me. However, I've had smaller versions, usually affect anything from just my eyesight to my limbs, but I'm still awake.

The good thing is that I have people around me to help when I have them. The bad thing is I'm unable to travel far. Hell, I'm unsure if I can go outside my city. This has affected what I can do, usually events with my family, but it's also put some strain on my relationship with my girlfriend (it's long distance).

Most days, I'm fine. Other days, I'm frustrated by what I can't do. At least I have the internet and DU. If you wanna know more detail, send a PM.
