The Epilepsy Thread

I have epilepsy. Not the kind triggered by computers, TV, or video games (Thank God), but I occasionally have full-blown, tonic-clonic (or "grand mal") seizures after waking up. Or sometimes if I'm really lucky, after I arrive at work.

I've been on the same medication for about ten years now, but for some reason I've been getting seizures a lot more frequently lately (three in the past two weeks), so it's been on my mind a lot lately.

So how about you, TNL? Any strange/unique medical conditions you'd care to share?

I have a third nipple. It's small so no girl has ever noticed. I thought it was just a birth mark till a couple years ago.

My penis is too large to fit in my pants. Doctors call it Elephantrunkitus.

I have a sensitive stomach, that's about it.

I have eczema. It used to be really bad when I was a kid where I couldn't even walk because I would itch my legs until they were raw. But it has really mellowed out in the last 5 years where it rarely flares up or causes discomfort anymore, thankfully.

Type 1 diabetic and all the fun that comes with that.

Also, self-diagnosed severe depression.

Fucking kidney stones, I don't have any now but I have to take pills to avoid them.

I have no diseases.

A guy I know has epilepsy. His licence was revolked because of it.

I know a pair of identical twins and one of them gets seizures and the other doesn't. How's that for a bum card?

I wonder if one of them feels the seizure even if the other isn't around. Like how they know if they're going to get a phone call from their twin before the twin actually calls them.

Twins are freaky. Way scarier than ghosts IMO.

we had a similar thread a while ago. i have eczema on my feet and backs of my calves., but its now dormant. from about may of last year to january of this year though i could barely sleep because it just itched like torture. i also have bad circulation in my legs, so i have slight varicose veins, but when i keep up my leg workouts, they arent particularly noticeable.
