I've had two (one drug induced, one stress induced) seizures in the last 12 months. The doctors do not believe that I have epilepsy and say I likely wont have another seizure, but they said that after my first one and then I had another so...
They suspended my license which is a bummer but I'm ok with that. 3 years from May I can hopefully get it back if I don't have another. My first seizure was a "grand mal" seizure and I was experimenting (idiotically) with a psychadelic. So the neuro and docs said it was due to the drugs and I wont have another. But then I did.
The second one was on the way to work (fiance was driving as my license was suspended in August for 3 years due to the first seizure, they just resuspended it when I had the second) I apparently collapsed and stiffened, shook for a second, stiffened again and collapsed again and came back out of it ears ringing and vomiting (like the first one) but didn't bite my tongue wet myself or anything like that. My pdoc and t believe they may be psuedoseizures and/or related to my DID.
But at my work they are telling me that I should get a medical alert bracelet. I'm already working on a charm bracelet so adding one to it wouldn't be a huge deal but... Why would I need it? They all seem to think I need it. What good does the charm do and how is it useful? Should I be even considering it just yet? No one was even supposed to know about it. After the first seizure when I called my work to get two days off work I told the manager I wanted to keep it private. Sure enough when I came into work everyone knew and started talking about doing a fund raiser for me.
So now everyone knows I have had seizures, I don't really think it's a big deal for others to know, I just didn't want them to make a deal out of it. Wouldn't that charm do just that?
I guess I just don't understand the charms for seizures and when/how/why you would get them, the purpose that they serve you know? I'm sure they do serve a purpose which is why I'm here now.
Sorry to type so much. Thank you in advance for any help...
