Seizures wherever I go !!

Sat, 03/17/2012 - 13:21
My Seizures are getting worse and worse!! My Mother is in a Long-Term Care Facility and has Lost her mind, as she no longers remembers me, yet I went to see her EVERYDAY. They took my DRIVERS and Pilots Licenses away from me, and I been useing a "Little Transit Bus" they start 2 years ago to go see her...,, Sometimes when I do take a Cab or Taxi it costs me $22 one-way.., the Little Transit BUS only costs $3 one-way. I'm even Haveing Seizures infront of my Mother, in public and on that "Little Transit Bus". I have had EPILEPSY all my Life and Have Gran-Mal Seizures. I have had two Brain Operations for it., and before the Brain Operations I use to have 40 Sezures a-day, now I Only Have one Sreizure per-day....,, still "that's TOO Many."I have Taken up to 12 meds at once.., and have been on most drugs when they were still in the "EXPERIMENTAL STAGE" (i'm 51 years OLD., and YES.., "How EVER thought that I would live this LONG.)" Anyhow , I lived in Northern Manitoba for 11yrs., and my Seizures were Fairly Controlled. When I Moved out to Alberta , They became Worse and more often. Even thu I have had TWO BRAIN SURGERIES for it., they seen to be UNCTONROLLABLE. They keep getting worse and worse , to the Point I am Afraid to go out, and CARRY Meds with me if I do go out!! I have had Seizures in Drug Stores., Food Stores , On a Bus, In the Street, in other stores and out in the bush while running. I've had MANY "SEIZURES" at work but was always able to stop the semi or Dozer, get under them and have me Seizure.., now I can'nt Controll where or when I have an ATTACK!! It could be during SEX or While Rideing a Transit Bus. I wonder if the CHANGE in "ALTITUDE" of Moveing from Northern Manitoba to Alberta could have "ANYTHING" to do with it?? They have TRY'D to get me off the "Transit Bus" and ride a BUS called the HANDY BUS where you have Book it 24hrs in Advance.

I live in Arizona, so its always hot here.
But when I would go to Seattle to see my sister I always felt better.
it could be altitude or weather, I'm not sure.
Same thing, I just went to England and I felt great. Of course it's cold there too.
I hope you get better :)
