My Life With Epilepsy or Should I Say No Life?

Thu, 11/11/2010 - 06:55
I used to have a life. A real life, even with epilepsy undiagnosed from childhood. When I started to have bigger problems than I thought I could cope with on my own, I went to the doctor for help. That was the biggest mistake in my life. The rest is history and current events. I started a blog, partly to save my own life. I think it has. I'm alive and kicking (lol, the seizures make me do that). Please read it if you want to know my story. I would love to hear from the rest of you on this site. I complain about this site a lot and many of you probably wonder why I'm here. I'm here because of all of you. Thanks and I'm looking forward to your comments. You can leave them here or on any one of my blog posts. Click on this link to leave a comment on my blog.

Tadzio, Thanks. I published the comment. It did make it through. I also posted a reply. I had trouble posting it because I got an error message. I figured out a workaround. I saved the comment text. I then entered a stub comment and saved it. Then I edited the comment and was able to post it that way. I don't know if I have the energy to report the problem to TypePad support. I see that you got the link to the post in. I wonder if I can get the link to the comments through: Tadzio's comment on my post and My reply to Tadzio. YES!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! It makes me really happy to get comments in this forum and in the blog. I want to thank everyone who reads and everyone who has commented. There have been several. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na. Lots of Love, Devorah Zealot Soodak http://psychout.typepad.com/ the zealot needs help! P.S. Please read my blog. Thanks. P.P.S. Please click here to read my not latest post. It's about the Taffy Motel Absecon City Dump in which I am currently living. I go to court tomorrow. They're trying to throw me out in the street. The place is a filthy, moldy, sickening, code-violation hell of a Welfare Motel Dump. I put up a review on Yahoo! Travel and TripAdvisor. The Yahoo! review is published. I don't know about TripAdvisor. Last I checked, they hadn't published the comment. We'll see if they're legit or shills.

Heather, Thanks. I don't do much chat and I'm not sure how it works. If I can figure it out, I'll give it a whirl. I really appreciate that you took the trouble to reach out to me. I am very isolated and alone and it's a huge help to know that people care. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na. Devorah Zealot Soodak http://psychout.typepad.com/ the zealot needs help! P.S. Please read my blog. Thanks. P.P.S. Please click here to read my latest post. P.P.P.S. Thank you for fixing the spam trap. I pray it stays that way.
