Hello Anon, i appreciate the strength you have been showing to make ends meet. What does the doctor tell you, does he allow you to take night shifts?
thanks ………i had been to doctor 2 times , once when i had it first time …doctor told me to take tegritol for 3 months and after that i cudn’t continue , i had eeg test that time and report was positive , there were two strokes…….then after 2 years i again went to doctor , i had eeg test again and report was fine this time , doctor cudn’t find anything wrong but despite of taking medicines for soo long i almost face this problem every day , i have slight shocks and if i feel that i there is nothing wrong and then i feel fine but i am scared , i think that i’ll have this problem whole life and doctors are also not able to find anything .I asked doctor about night shifts and he didn’t advice me to leave and moreover i can’t leave because it is very important for my career and i do need money so i am forced to do that .
I too have a lot of disappointments in my life and i hate it when i would like to do things or control things beyond my capacity. And hearing the same sentiments with you, i do understand your situation. How are you doing?
dear friend from India be patient with you epilepsy problem.
life is more than that, till where I know epilepsy has no cure jet.
you need to learn how live with that,there are no human with out any type of
problem despite that, life is beautiful,and you need to enjoy with problem or
with out it, this is the only chance we have don’t wasted.
Above your shifts don’t worry, I have the same shifts and don’t liked but
I need the job,I also know nothing is forever.
REMEMBER EVERY BUDDY HAVE A CROSS TO CARRY ON THAT IS YOUR.
OTHERS HAS OTHER TYPE WORSE THAN YOUR.
As a person with epilepsy, I can understand the problem you are facing. I would recommend that you, your doctor and your supervisor sit down, discuss what concerns you have as well as how best all of you could work to make the situation work. Also I would look on line for the epilepsy foundations in the United States as well as United Kingdom for any ideas that they might have.
Best of luck.
Hi, I understand the way you feel, what i will say is that if you are a christian then i can say that Elisha Goodman at www. firesprings.com can guide you to your healing through Christ. there are so many testimonies of people with HIV being healed . You may also saerch the internet for idears . i believe you will find help if you deligently seek.i will make some enquiries for you here in Ghana. here in Ghana the traditional medicines work wonders more than the western medicines. so I will look in that area. for you.Best regards
go to a hakeem, there are loads in your country, just find one that is famous for making people better
Hai dear,
I’ve read your problem while browsing on net. Well the best thing you can do is sleep as much as time you are free and the best thing you can do is Deep breathing Excises, yoga which you can watch in Aastha channel in your T.V daily at night and in mornings or you can purchase a C.D on Epilepsy of Ramdev ji, any where in music stores.
If you are really serious about what you have written then just, follow what i have written and see your life will change within few days, and for your information on me I am also a epilepsy patient but now I am quit happy with my life doing yoga and other excises. So i hope you will also continue your life journey with right frame of mind in life so that you will never be upset in your life. Once again start doing yoga.
Its time to say bye form my side take care have a nice life. All the best.
