Over the past couple weeks we have had the strangest weather here in Sask. The heat and the humidity alone could set off warning signs for a seizure. Ah ha I missed it all this time, it just couldn't catch me.
I hate in some way to admit how much I love watching electrical storms. I guess in some small way I see my daughter (who is no longer with us) in each lightning strike reaching down for me. More than not she is telling me to get inside as she died in her sleep on hospital bed with Epilepsy also.
This past week has been full of strange full blown thunder storms with happenings that you just can't take your eyes off long enough to pick up the camera. Threatning or warnings of tornadoes in our community. Several have already caused havic around us yet we stayed safe.
I have always been intrigued by weather changes and what happens inbetween. Have you taken a look at your diary and noticed that you have only had seizures of any kind during a certain season? It does sometimes happen. The summer is a bad one for me. There is not only the heat and the storms. There is also all the things floating around in the air, the pollen is flying around everywhere stuffing up those sinus areas or being allergic to some of it. Bring down your immune system and the seizures are free to come in.
This is a big trigger for me too. Possibly not as big as others but it is still one to watch for even though nature is there and there is not much a person can do about a thunderstorm happening with bright lights flashing, nor letting down our immune system with the smell of pollen in the air during the summer. Some of these we just can not do much about.
Other triggers like eating properly, getting a good nights sleep, and making sure you take your medications as prescribed and on time, learning ways to keep the stress down we can control.
STAY HAPPY is one way. Life will go on.

My epilepsy is fairly new, but I just had a strange experience this evening when the lightning and wind started up. The familiar strangeness in my head that usually only appears at certain times of the month gave me a start. This usually means I will have a tongue muncher at some point during the night. *sigh* Funny that I just got your link from the forum and found this particular blog post! I find your experience strangely affirming, though not especially comforting. :\
ReplyDeleteWelcome Karia and good to have your input. This can happen to me too with weather changes and particular in a thunderstorm. I love watching the lightning but there are times when just can't specially should it be to close. Guess those wires in our brain just don't like the electricity from the lightning eh. Oh an Canada day with all the bright lights going off, they were sure pretty. Watched them from at different cities on TV.
ReplyDeleteDo hope you didn't get that tongue bitter during the night though, and it passed as quickly as it came.
I do put up a note, whenever this blog is updated or something new added just to keep everyone in the current. Guess I should put something on here more often so more can find eh... :)
This summer is suppose to be a really hot dry one here so out come the floppy hats, the glasses and the sunscreen should need to be outside. Bookmark this page and please feel free to join often. (even though not specially comforting :)) Keep smiling and have a great weekend. Was a clear seizure free week here for me how about you.

ReplyDeleteI did what a lot of people do when they want to know more about something. I googled it. I came across Dr ITUA herbal medicine on YouTube so many people thanking him about his good work. My son was epilepsy patent. I wasn’t running all over God’s creation with every man I could find but here I am. I have felt bad about myself for so many years now because of my son epilepsy status.
