literally had to cut part of it out because I starred at the ground for an eternity. You can fight sedatives when you have had a lot of that medication but clearly it didn’t go so well for me but it could have been worse (like having actual seizures again or going into SUDEP) This was not a usual experience for me but I think because I was so terrified of having more seizures, missing more time that I can’t advocate for myself during, and that my previous seizures in this video  weren’t the convulsive type (however still dangerous to have a bunch of absence seizures), I was able to have this experience before crashing. I think some medical professionals see people who present like this after having rescue medication and think many patients want drugs and are faking seizures. To be clear, I laugh through most scary experiences and I didn’t enjoy this one. I was very scared that I’d have another seizure but I just couldn’t think straight. I think I knew I was safe with the person who was with me, the ground looked like it was getting closer, but I had no sense of real danger because of the medication. I hate the feeling of rescue medications but they bring you out of clusters of seizures. Most people have no idea when they are administered, how long they had seizures, how long since they stopped, etc. Takeaways: have a person with you to administer medication when NEEDED and knows how and don’t always assume people are druggies - lastly, be careful with rescue medication and only give when NEEDED #seizuresawareness #seizuredog #epilepsyservicedog #liveepilepsy #EpilepsyAwareness #RescueMedication #ChronicIllnessLife #DisabilityAwareness #EpilepsyStrong #SeizureAwareness #MedicationSideEffects #InvisibleDisabilities #LifeWithEpilepsy #MedicalReality #EpilepsySupport #ChronicIllnessCommunity #DisabilityRepresentation #EpilepsyJourney #EpilepsyWarrior
