Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. 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, 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 had a seizure for the first time in months. My fiancé went over to my job to let them know I wouldn't be going in. My boss bitched both of us because I didn't call myself. Sure, I'll get right on that when I'm conscious. FML
Today, I actually had to reassure the girl I'm seeing that she can't "catch" my epilepsy. FML
Today, I had RA training and we were doing mock situations. During one of these, I had a seizure. Everyone thought it was fake, until I started violently throwing up. FML
Today, I explained to my teacher that I wasn't at school yesterday due to three doctor appointments for my moderate epilepsy. Yesterday was senior skip day. She gave me detention for lying. FML
Today, my professor informed me that if I didn't "show more commitment" to my choral ensemble he would give my spot to a "more interested young woman." I missed class to see my neurologist. Apparently my seizures are a symptom of lack of commitment. FML
Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. 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

Did you ask if she'd ever tried science?

I tried Science once. Once. It tasted like bitter tears and soul-crushing sorrow. Try History instead. I've heard it tastes of forgotten dreams and endless hopes.

Tell her to research epilepsy before making reputation damaging comments, in Latin.

"Yes, I use the treadmill three days a week and it seems to help." If she presses on with the devil bullshit, you should ... seizure books and get the hell out of there!

Hmmmm.... I thought demons hated crucifixes and holy water. Guess we gotta add flashing lights to the list.

This lady's a nut, even if hypothetically you were 'possessed' clearly you haven't tried "exorcism" because you had your attack right in front of her. Had you hypothetically had an exorcism (due to your hypothetical possession) you wouldn't have had the attack, making her question even more ridiculous than it already is. Glad to see the educational system working fabulously

She probably was joking around. I hope she wasn't serious because exorcism does not rid epilepsy.

I can hardly believe there are actually still people who believe in such nonsense. But then again there are probably still people who believe the world is flat.

I googled it, clicked on the fist or second thread, that's some stupid funny stuff right there. And as for OP on here, don't let the professor get you down, just ace her class and when she asks how you did it, tell her the demons gave you all the answers.
