I figured I needed to put together a light-hearted blog. So you consider a fictional serial killer “light”? Yes. Have you seen Dexter? In any case, I just got done reading twenty years of neurologists’ reports on me because I dumbly logged into my medical records database to find this lovely summary and… to read […]

Epilepsy, 3 Hospitals, 7 Vials of Blood and a Key Lime Martini
So… how was your Monday? 😺 Mine turned out to be a Big Day. Now in this odd little blog, I tell a lot of random stories. But lately I’ve strayed away from my health issues (epilepsy etal.) because I’ve been enjoying a blissful break from hospitals. Yet, this all changed Monday and now you’re […]
Maybe I’ll Have a Happy Electrified Ending
This blog is a little late this week because I spent Monday and Tuesday doing “real” work aka editing a grant application (for a friend but she paid me my rate and it was the closest thing I’ve done to “real” work in a long time). So that felt good. That update is for those […]

Is This Chemical Or Am I Authentically Feeling This Calm/Honest
Meds. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 A few weeks ago I did a DIY, 72 hour EEG which revealed that I was experiencing an impressive number of seizures though I had no idea of this. But that could be just another seizure. My current neurologist believes that a lot of the actions I take are due to “seizures”. Not […]
Ambulatory EEG Test #1 Result Day… I Am More Epileptic++ Than I Realized
Yesterday afternoon, my neurologist’s office called to tell me they downloaded the data from my first ambulatory EEG and, consequently, my neurologist wanted to see me ASAP. ASAP? Right away? Pronto? Okay. All right. Here we go. Okay. My heart dropped to the bottom of my guts. It’s not great when a medical professional calls […]
