[color=darkblue]MY PERSONAL WAR WITH SEIZURES[/col

I WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING A SEIZURE DISORDER ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. AFTER SPENDING TIME IN THE HOSPITAL AND ENDURING NUMEROUS TESTS, MY DOCTOR STILL COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE SYNCOPE WHEN LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT I WAS HAVING. SO, AS MANY OF YOU WHO HAVE SOME KIND OR MENTAL ILLNESS KNOW, IT GOT BLAMED ON ANXIETY. HHHMMMM, ANXIETY ATTACKS THAT MAKE ME LOOSE CONSCIOUS, CAUSE ME TO HAVE CONVULSIONS, SCREWS MY MEMORY UP, CAUSES ME TO BE BRUISED FROM CONTINUIOUS FALLING, AND MAKES MY HANDS SHAKE LONG AFTER IT'S OVER. I WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING PSYCHOGENIC SYNCOPE IN THE HOSPITAL. WELL, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE MY PSYCHIATRIST, WHO OF COURSE, SPECIALIZES IN THIS AREA, SAID I WAS NOT HAVING ANXIETY ATTACKS. HE HAS BEEN ME SINCE 1998 WHEN MY DADDY DIED. AFTER MAKING SEVERAL VISITS WITH HIM HE SAW ALL OF THE BRUISES ON MY FACE, ARMS, AND LEGS. HE PUT ME ON DIALANTIN FOR SEIZURES. EVERYTHING GOT BETTER! NOW, I AM HAVING TROUBLE GETTING MY DIALANTIN LEVELS TO STAY CORRECT EVEN THOUGH I TAKE IT LIKE I AM SUPPOSE TO. IT'S EITHER TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW. THIS THURSDAY I HAD A SILENT ONE AT WORK AND I WAS IN LALA LAND. I DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANY STIMULUS FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND MY MOUTH STARTED TO PULL. SOUNDS LIKE A TIA OR STROKE. I WAS TOLD TO GO TO THE ER WHEN MY CO-WORKER CALLED MY GENERAL DOCTOR SO THEY COULD GET A CT. THE HOSPITAL DID NOT TAKE ANY X-RAYS, BUT SAID I HAD A SEIZURE BECAUSE MY LEVELS WERE TOO LOW. THREE DAYS BEFORE THAT MY LEVELS WERE TOO HIGH CAUSING ME TO HAVE SEVERE MUSCLE SPASMS! EPILESPY RUNS ON MY MAMA'S SIDE. MY GRANDMOTHER AND 2 UNCLES HAD IT. NOW, I CANNOT DO MY JOB, AS A DENTAL ASSISTANT. MY DEXTERITY IS SCREWED UP. I FILED FOR DISABILITY IN FEBRUARY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE BIPOLAR KICKING IN. I AM JUST 34YRS OLD, SO, SICKNESS DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST AGE! I WELCOME ANYONE TO SHARE HE/HER PROBLEM/SOLUTION TO THIS STORM I AM TRYING TO TAKE SHELTER FROM. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU! angel teddybear teddybear

living with manic-depressive illness

For everyone out there who have this illness or any mental illnes i embrace you. Some people feel ashamed and alone, therefore they endure the battle alone. I have bi-polar disorder and believe me it is a struggle. Some days I'm hyper and I accomplish so much. Then again, there are some days that i never leave my home and some days that i want to get out and go,go,go. Everyone has ups and downs, but what i'm talking about is extreme mood swings. Thre is medication for depression, mood stabilizers, and valium for panic attacks. I realize that writing this blot will not help me out on here. I felt the need to reach out to anyone else on here who might have this or a similiar illness.

Those annoying missing pictures of people on this

why would a person choose to be on a singles site and not have his/her picture up with the profile information? I skip over the missing picture profiles because i like to see what a person looks like when i am looking for someone to possibility go out with. I know that it doesn't matter what a person looks like if you just want to say Hi and go on. This is a singles connection site and a picture is required to help connect people. The "mystery man" photos do nothing for me. It's like being in a beauty pagent and having a bag over your head! You may be a great person with many interests and talents, but if you don't post your picture how can a person tell if the attraction is there? i can only imagine meeting a man for the first time after talking to him on here for weeks only to see that i am not attracted to him. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the beholder has to see it first! So, men and women, please get those beautiful pictures of yourselves up there!
