Living Well With Epilepsy: Spread the word about Epilepsy Awareness Month

Living Well With Epilepsy: Spread the word about Epilepsy Awareness Month: Epilepsy Awareness Month in November will be here sooner than we know. So, I'd like to propose a little project. This graphic is a butto...

Google+

I am getting pretty angry with the Google+ . If I want to put  follow someone none of the buttons will work, the add to circle comes up but no matter what you try to click it just will not work. Grrr
Trying to reply to friends is impossible cannot even click in the comment box.
I spent the last hour trying to find where to get help from and that is extremely difficult and I still haven't found it.
Why did I bother with it in the first place?
Even this is all wrong it says I am not following anyone but how can I follow anyone if the stupid buttons don't do anything

Incontinence protection

When I have a seizure I nearly always lose bladder control even wearing a protective pad still leaves room for embarrassment.
Thanks to 'My life as Mandy's blog' I have found an answer to this problem.
It is not only useful for people who lose bladder control with seizures but for any man/woman who has incontinence.
This site is a godsend to me

Medibands

I have been joining Epilepsy groups on Facebook looking for support and to try and get helpful information. Even thought I have had epilepsy for 10 years I am still quite ignorant I knew what it was doing to me but that was not giving me the insight I needed to answer questions I have.
Through joining the groups on Facebook I have already learned a whole new world of information and seeing that I am not the only person going through the many issues associated with epilepsy.

This giveaway is something that so many people need whether they have epilepsy or any other condition that would be helpful if any episode or accident happened the mediband has your information and lets people know that you have epilepsy etc

If you think you need something like this then take a look at the site

Warning Signs


Sometimes I get some sort of sign that a seizure is about to occur, I am only aware of those signs once in a while but the majority of the time it is my husband or family.

Bad mood
Confusion
Headache (Can never be sure if it just a headache or a warning sign)
Horrid taste in my mouth (I am aware of that one)
Absences
Unsteadiness
Scratching
Jerks (Petit mals)
A feeling that something is not right with me ie not feeling well but not ill and I  could not explain to anyone what it is. (I am sometimes aware of this but the majority of the times I am not)
Grinding my teeth.
Being totally unreasonable
