  • Morning

    Happy birthday to Naebbirac

    Markz123 I hope your GP refers you quickly and they get to the bottom of the problem.

    Nikki I hope you and DS don't catch sickness and your DH gets better soon.

    Fairclaire whatever way you go I'm sure your dad would be happy to know that income from the house has helped look after your family.
    I know what you mean about putting it off, I couldn't even face taking the taxi plates off DH's car as that would mean that the car was no longer his :o. I eventually had to do it for the MOT in October, I had got away with it still on the year before but I knew I had to take them off for this one. I waited until it got dark before doing it and cried the entire time :o very emotional but I knew it had to be done.
    Just do what feels right for you, no one but you knows what that'll be.

    My tesco shopping and wombling days are over...

    whilst out walking my dog yesterday i collapesed and had a seizure bit a huge bit of clean of my tounge, bruised face, black eye, wet myself (dont laugh) the only thing i remember is waking up in an ambulance 1/2 hour later. blood tests all ok..they say they think ive had an epileptic fit..therefore i can longer drive for at least a year...

    im the only one that can drive as im already a carer for my wife..

    we live in a small village..only a couple of shops no tesco..

    everything is going to change now i have no car. cant go to tesco. cant go on either of the 2 holidays we have booked.

    so on monday ive got to go to the GP and arrange brain scans and EEG's. and then hope for the best that it was just a 1 off, but either way its looks like i will lose my licence..

    FOR DOGGY / PET PEOPLE
    my dog is perfectly fine apparantly he just sat by my side gaurding me when i was on the floor fitting..he wouldnt let anyone near me until it was someone he knew (luckily because of him everyone talks to you when you have a dog)
    i couldNT ask for a more loyal friend and protector..

    ive got so many questions to ask.what, if, when etc.

    they say life begins at 40..well if this is the start of my life IT SUCKS

    So sorry to hear this hope that the doctors have better news for you. xxx

    Hey thats not a great start to your new year. I am 14 days off getting my licence back after collapsing last year. It does suck, but somehow you come to terms with it. Safer for everyone.

    main thing is getting yourself less stressed cause Epilepsy seems to rear its ugly head when stress is around. The good news is you can apply for a bus pass.(not sure where you are), which allows free bus travel in your country(im in scotland) and cheap train travel in your region. Also free prescriptions in some areas.

    We can't give medical advice on here, its forbidden and been huge source of arguments previously.

    What an amazing doggie you have. I think they say they sense it.
    Try and rest

    Take care

    Markz123 sending hugs your way. I really hope you can get to the bottom of what's going on quickly. Don't forget if you are stuck at home for a while....you have us lot for company. I can personally vouch for it being a great support and distraction when real life is less than perfect x

    nikkilala, thanks for your kind and wise words. I know exactly what you mean:A

    Thanks to everyone else who commented as well. It helps alot to read everyone's else's thoughts. You are a bunch of :A
