Had to happen

on June 22, 2012

Twice this time. Last night I sat on the couch and apparently rubbed my chin like I was in deep thought. And then this morning I seizured mid-toothbrushing getting ready to leave to take Lilly to child care. Can’t remember anything else Stephen has said, except that they seem to be in two stages and longer these days. The normal “rigid” phase, where I grip things, then I think he said the second stage is I am quite floppy and need to be sat down. And am unaware of my surroundings (sounds better than unconscious) and confused for longer.

I’m going to see my neurologist on Tuesday so I’m quite pleased about that, I think I keep saying that but I am v curious as to what the next step is going to be. I know one option will be to turn my VNS up a notch; I’m quite happy with that.

Stay tuned, let’s see what happens…

    How long do you stay unconscious or does it vary. Is there anyway that it can be measured with your VNS?
