Living with Epilepsy/Seizures

My name is Macey and I just turned 19 on the 12th of October. I started to have seizures when I was 7 years old. The doctors kept me in the hospital for a week before they figured out what was wrong. I was anemic. Seven years later I began to pass put. The first time I was in the dentist office getting my teeth cleaned.

Seven months later we had to watch a drunk driving video at school and I fainted again. Well they took me to the hospital where they did a ct scan and an x ray. They told me that I had a real bad bladder infection. Five months later we were watching a video in my parenting class and I passed out again only thins time I jerked a few times and my eyes rolled back. They just took me to the doctor to check my vitals and everything was okay. Six months later I went to the doctors office for a little head cold and an ear ache. Well I was sitting the table and there was a chair like right in front of the table. I had no warnings or nothing but I passed out again and I hit the chair before I hit the floor. The doctor was writing my prescriptions out before he saw in mid fall.

When I woke up the doctor was holding something on my forehead and I remember asking, What happened? The doctor said that I fainted and fell off of the table and that I had a deep gash in my forehead. My uncle was with me but he was outside. They told him to take me to the hospital and that he was admitting me so I can get stitches. He made two nurses follow us to the hospital with was down the road. Once I got to the hospital they stitched me up then they did an EKG an x ray, and a urine sample. They kept me overnight so they can run more tests. Well the next day they did a seizure test and an MRI THe seizure test came back a little abnormal so they put me on some seizure medicine, which I am still taking. Eveything else came back normal. They finally released me that night. But I had to go back to the neurologist because he wanted to do a 48 hour EEG monitoring. Did that and that came back normal.

SO today I had to go and get some papers from the doctors office and it said that I have a seizure disorder and that I’m on anti epilepic medicine. SO I hope they figure out why I keep having seizures and passing out.
