Ok, Guess I had to put it in serious General

[TickledToDeath]

For those who give a rats ASS I ONLY post this here because I have been a member here since like 1998 and I have many friends here and a tone and a half of posts etc etc. and so on and so on. Not looking for sympathy, pity or, anything for that matter, just thought the friends I do have my wish to say something to whatever power that be they believe in and those who actually to give a rats ass may want to know. If you look it up(Abnormal Left Temporal Lobe. Then Petite Mal or Absence Seizure, you will understand)
I have been diagnosed with an Abnormal Left Temporal, that is an absolute.
Along with extreme Migraine headaches, there may be the Petite Mal or Absence Seizure.
I am right now, a lab rat on several meds for both Seizure and Migraine of high dosage. Unable or restricted to drive or go anywhere alone or unescorted and and out of work on disability for at least a month(was in the hospital for 5 days last week undergoing all kinds of tests, MRI, CAT Scans, and a couple of EEG's that showed the Abnormal Left Temporal Lobe Disorder.
Have Several "Episodes" Daily" Follow up with the Neurologists is at the end of April.
No Tumor, No bleeding in the brain and no anyurism or however the frig its spelled. I don't feel like looking it up.

So that is that for me for now.

Trying to stay away from anxiety and aggravation for now and forever for that matter so onward I go.
Just so you know.

I'm sorry to hear that your going through such a hard time Shorty. But you are in my thoughts and I loves you!

Sorry to hear about this. My brother also had just about the same type of seizures but his manifested in migranes and blackouts, where he would just stare off and not know what was going on around him and they were frequent and scary. They called them petite mal as well. He couldn't drive or anything like that and had lots of tests. After years of being on medication they were able to control them and he has been seizure free for about 6 years now and is able to drive and get along fine.

I hope everything turns out for you as well.

Best of luck, ever want to talk PM me.

I don't want to say anything cliche because I can't relate. But I can echo what everyone else has said in that I'm sorry to hear this is going on. Seems that you have some good friends to offer support, though. That's always a positive.

Exactly....exactly what I have going on bro, the Petite Mal, (Absence Seizure along with the Extreme Migraine and the Abnormal Left Temporal Lobe Disorder on top of it all), I hope I do not have to wait 6 f'ing years for them to control it!
Thank for the PM offer, I may be doing that.

I'm very sorry to hear that you're enduring this condition. Best wishes for some effective treatment for you.

 

[KrazieDog]

Prayers go out to you all the same TTD. It's shittiest regardless. Definitely doesn't help that the medication that they put you, also restricts you from driving when you just want to get out for a while. My mom suffered a double brain aneurysm, and thank God, has recovered, but the no driving was one of the hardest parts for her. Take care of yourself bro and I hope all goes well for you.

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Damn, Ed! I had no idea you were having so many problems! I'll definately add you to my prayer list. It's a good thing you have such a good wife to help you out! Please keep us informed about how things are going. You know where we are if you need us.

Thanks. However, you know something I need but have thus far refused to given it to us, but that withstanding, I aprreciate your sentiment. I really appreciate it.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Dammit Ed...how the hell long has this been going on Bro?

Quite some time but has progressed greatly over the past 6 months and even even moreso over the past two months.
Since March 24, to date, roughly 60 "episodes" to my memory.

Thanks Cos and to everyone who took the time and effort to post their concern and well wishes herein. However those of you who looked up the Abnormal Left Temporal Lobe Portion of my condition will understand more.
I posted a farewell curtain call thread post in another forum namely tickle theater and I got attacked and it got deleted totally. Then I posted about my condition with an addition to it about my farewell curtain call to that forum. Just could not tolerate some of the crap from many of the members of the site there and the reasons why and it got closed down. Goes to show who your friends are in the community.
I have issues with a fist full of people in the community. Some have yet to be resolved some have been resolved. I will just it at that. The condition I have causes me to have very low tolerance and I cannot deal with undue unwanted stress from.......well, I will not get into that either. I have other things to deal with that include my condition and my CASAC studies, changing of, Medications, a$$wipe doctors, Short term and possibility long term disability and who knows, possibility of a procedure on the left temporal lobe, that and other obligations on and off the internet.
My point is , read up on it and you will understand that those with the abnormal left temporal lobe condition have....well....just do some research. I have a long road ahead of me and I will indeed know exactly who my friends are at the end of that road.
