Today, I had a seizure while at the airport, ready to go on vacation with my family. We ended up missing our flight. My mom spent most of the ride home making cracks about how I'm always ruining things with my "dramatics". Sorry that I have epilepsy, mom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a seizure. My dad responded by saying it always happens with my disease. I never have had a disease. Now I have to wait for my dad to stop yelling at my mom about not telling me, so I can ask what I have in the first place. FML
Today, I seized in the shower, making me trip over the edge of the tub, which is when I then smashed my face against an open toilet and broke my nose. Thank you epilepsy. FML
Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML
Today, at work, my phone kept crashing. Without thinking, I announced that it was having a seizure. Who did I announce this to? My boss. Who also happens to have epilepsy. FML
Today, my dad had a seizure just after taking his anti-seizure medicine and having been seizure-free for two and a half months. Did I mention I was pooping while my poor dad was having this? I ran out with my pants around my ankles, due to my stepmom flipping out, screaming at me to find the phone (which she found). FML
Today, I was supposed to be on my way to Hawaii for a long-planned family vacation, but I had an anxiety attack that I couldn't explain. Now I'm lying in bed and crying, and my phone is blowing up with texts and calls. FML
Today, I had a mild epileptic seizure. My mom's immediate reaction was not to comfort me or call for help, but to freak out over the fact that I'd spilled my glass of milk over the floor. FML
Today, I had a seizure, and as they were loading me into the ambulance, drooling on myself, I clearly heard my mother ask the ambulance crew if they’d mind swinging by the church on the way to the hospital, you know, in case it turns out I’m not sick, just possessed by the devil. FML
Today, I was coming home from a much-needed vacation. The time I spent on the plane consisted of kids screaming and throwing tantrums. One of them managed to give me a black eye with a shoe. Their mom pretended to be asleep so I'd have to deal with her kids for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I cancelled our date tonight. I cancelled because I had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. FML

She sounds like a total bitch, sorry you have to put up with someone blaming you for something you have no control over. Hopefully you can schedule a new vacation soon!

That's horrible, I hope you're feeling better. Your mom is being a complete bitch about the situation your health is more important than a vacation.

Just cut your corpus collusom. Problem solved.
elgordogrande1 11
Cutting the corpus colosum is an extreme procedure used only in the severest cases. Usually this is a last ditch effort to help a person who either cannot function or whose life is threatened due to his or her epilepsy. The procedure also has some undesirable side effects. Learn yr shit before making stupid comments.

your health is way more important than a vacation...but am i the only one that would be upset too if my vacation plans got ruined too? lol

It's understandable to be upset over a missed vacation. It's perfectly fine to feel that way. What's not okay is blaming someone who has no control over their disorder.

Maybe I've misunderstood but when you 'crack' about something doesn't it mean you're making jokes? If she was joking, don't worry OP, if she wasn't.... Well, ouch.

I have a seizure condition, too. Fortunately, I've been seizure-free for the better part of a decade. Point is, seizures suck....I feel bad for you not only because you're having seizures, but also because your mom has the ignorance to say what she did.

while it would suck to miss a Vacation your mom is a bitch the life of a loved one is more important last week my father and I went to an anime convention but a couple weeks before that I was worried about my dad after he had a heart attack more than a con in short despite i like cons and go to this one every year my fathers health is more important

Depends, in Australia to have a crack means to make a snide remark
