does anyone have it on here.....i've been told by a consultant that i may have a form of it, i have tried reading up on it but can only find where it says about fits and seizures....i dont have fits but have been playing footie and end up stopping in my tracks and just stand there upright until someone notices and tries to bring me round.......i also feel very unwell but i cant seem to find anything on the web that states about feeling unwell while having epilepsy.....makes me think the consultant is wrong and just guessing....will be having my mri scan tomorrow and then back for results the following thursday....just dont feel like i can wait that long.

does anyone have epilepsy or have seizures but also at other times feel unwell with it.

Have no advice for ya fella but good luck with your MRI

The standing still bit could be absences, which is linked to epilepsy but not actually classed as a seizure

The Doris and I foster a lad of 5 with severe epilepsy... You are best of seeing a specialist rather than getting advice from different people, there are so many different forms of it and different severities, have looked after kids with full on seizures (like on the telly ) and kids that just have absences where they are in a world of their own for 2 secs, maybe 5 mins

Best off seeing a speicalist Good luck!

cheers peeps.....like said i will be having my scan tomorrow at mount vernon hospital then seeing a specialist the week after....i think what i was wondering more than anything is why i feel ill with what i have,it all seems like its coming from my throat...although i do have hietus hernia so dont know if any of that is causing it......i think the specailist was quick to say epilepsy cause i mentioned blackouts.

My brother was banned for driving as he collapsed in the street and fitted.
He wasn't allowed to drive for a year as it took so long. It turned out he had a form of diabetes and he is now kept under control with insulin.

Good luck with the MRI.

If you are suffering from epilepsy then try not to push yourself too hard, i.e work long hours and then play football. Sit playing computer games after a hard day.

Most important though make sure your friends and family know and someone knows where you are all the time. Make sure they are prepared for what might happen if you do have an attack as it can be quite shocking to watch someone go through it.

apparantly i had 3 blackouts while playing 5 aside footy....1 while playing footy with sisters nephew and one at work.....at the moment i'm not playing anymore footy and am taking things real easy at work.

Footy used to get a friend of mine, as did computer games.

He would black out, have a fit and then wake up with about 24hrs memory loss.
