One word of warning to all out there who have had siezures in the past and take meds for it..

for god sake don't stop without seeing your doc or nuerologist.

also which I don't think help this was I was taking silly amount of AD's and sleeping tabs to put me in the "Twighlight zone" from Ollie.....

and then stopped them all

or also what prob didn't help was having a nevous breakdown and nearly being taken away in the men in white coats (I exaggert on the white men bit !)

But seriously if it's booze or for whatever meds, plus extreem strees, don't do it alone...get help

Yep my super mario man..:l

that's excatly how mine started 3yrs ago I had been on a litre of vodka a day and knew I had to stop but din't have a clue of this...thought I was being good..!stupid..!

anyway remember the last few days I've been wierd on the army..? I think this was the oncoming of it..

when I was taken to the hospital they did all tests, MRI & scan and the doc confirmed I'd had another attack..shite..I didn't wanna stay in hospital so close to Xmas so my girl got us the hell outta there at 2:30 in the morn(after medication ?drips, loads of vallium)...but we got home.

I felt strange still yesterday, but better...cooked the crimble lunch, bought pessies and we had a really happy christmas..they ended up playing monopoly, Ollie neally won, and bonnie had to fold as jamie was getting the hump as bonnie was beatting him....hahahahaha...what a great christmas game to play..

yes I do....coz when I was in the black time (ex husband beating me, my older son Jamie had been taken my his Bio father 7,000miles away from me, mum died & not allowed to say her name or go to UK, menopause, demon adolecent Bonnie, plus a very young Ollie 4yrs,got evicted from my house) so shit hit the fan & I hid in the bottle..

I tried to stop,to be good and go cold turkey next thing my older son finds me siezing on the kitchen floor..blood gushing out my mouth from biting my tongue, bruises on elbows,back, face...I did'nt have a clue what had happened I just wanted to crawl back into bed next to Ollie.....

sorry making a long story, I thought you knew..I have to take med to control it, and with the frustration with Ollie last week, I've been sick in the mornings so maybe my meds have not stayed down.....!!!!

sorry this is too long gonna stop now.. :l:l:l

Hi Jan: So sorry to read about this - very scary, indeed. I remember very clearly your first post on this board. It may have been the only one I responded to directly, but it was your plea for help in order to be able to stay sober so you could visit Ollie in hopes of one day bringing him home.

Even though I didn't post a lot, I followed your story with amazement. Your incredible determination became apparent immediately. I mean, not many people have the balls to post a bunch of strangers, "I Have To Stop Drinking Now!" and explain the seriousness of your situation. AND THEN go on to do just that!!! You're one of my MWO heroes, for sure.

And here you are again, in another ball-busting situation, with the added very real and very frightening factor of seizures. My heart goes out to you :l

But, lovely Lady Jan, I know you can call upon that same determination and courage to get through this. You have faced and overcome so much. Keep us posted. There are people all around the world, including many of us "lurking in the cheap seats," as G-man says, who are sending prayers and all kinds of wild and wonderful vibrations for your well-being and ease. RIGHT NOW!!! Breathe them in. :h
