      Kay, are you saying that you have seizures non-stop? That's known as status epilepticus. I doubt that your seizures are non-stop or you would likely have died from it. From what I understand that status epilepticus which has not been stopped with medication can very likely become fatal. Going into status epilepticus is definitely considered potentially fatal.

    What a beautiful soul. This is exactly how I look at my epilepsy diagnosis. I don't let it get in the way of living my life normally, following all my dreams, passions and goals. I also love being athletic, I feel it helps me feel free and happy. My seizures apparently look like the ones she has when she is shaking. But I have always had mine while I was sleeping, so i have no memory of them, just feeling a bit drunk afterwards. I was told by my neurologist that my seizures can also happen anywhere at anytime... I've just been lucky so far that they haven't and that I am responding well to medication.

    It's inspiring to see people like her facing life with so much optimism. It makes you realise that it's all about your mindset, no matter what struggles you are facing, you can still go on, you can still strive for what you want. No matter what life throws at you, you should always get up and continue running forward. Never put it in your mind that you can't, don't let struggles thrown your way weigh you down, fight for what you want, and the end result will leave you accomplished.

      You do get used to pretty much anything, really. This is a bit of a weird comparison, but I'm still going to make it;
      I worked at a clinic for people with an intellectual level of about 2-8 years old. Down syndrome, oxygen lack at birth, stuff like that. At first you'll find it really hard to see them as normal people, but you get used to anything they do and you start to know and like their personalities. At some point I found myself not being shocked by finding them masturbating on a chair during a group talk or to find two of them having gay sex somewhere in a storage room. I'd just tell them it was time for lunch, or whatever time it was.
      It's human behaviour, these people just don't know what's appropriate but really, what's appropriate anyway?
      So responding this laconic to a seizure makes sense to me. Also I think it's easiest for Katie, she can just get up and carry on.

      JOBO a seizure sucks ass, depends on the kind. grandmaul I have had and you get fuzzy headed first and you start to studder and then you black out and wake up with no memory of what has happened.. sometimes you even go into an awake like state that you don't remember where you do crazy shit like get naked (which I did)

      As someone with epilepsy seizures aren't actually painful. Here and there you might have a small headache for 30 seconds, but that's not after every seizure, and it barely hurts.
      It's very easy to get up afterwards. In fact we get up and can just go on with our day like nothing ever happened.

      @ I'm epileptic and staff with the epilepsy foundation. Your comments are being investigated by UA-cam for intentionally spreading lies. The keto diet doesn't work for everyone there is no sure fix for epilepsy and my suggestion is that u stop unless u want to be completely banned from here

    She is one of the most lovely gals I've ever seen, a huge example of a strong human being. My biggest passion is to draw and I suffer from really bad hand tremors related to young onset Parkinson's, it was tough to give up my dream, but she didn't. She's a hero disguised between normal people.

    My father has epilepsy and recently he got different medicine. The ones he was taking before would raise his blood pressure sometimes but we are getting through it. Thankfully, he doesn’t have this worse if epilepsy but if he doesn’t have his medicine, he will have a seizure and perhaps die.
