If you read my Story, then you will read about the situation that happened after a pharmacist's error resulting me having high blood pressure medicine in place of my monthly bottle of Tegretol and thus I was at work when I went into a "seizure state" progressing from feeling strange and melting out of the chair after I sat down to eventually reaching a "stroke-like" state where I was no longer able to speak (all the result of calcium level down too low) and because of the error by the person creating the card so that I could go to the MGH walk-in clinic, the resident doctor who was treating me in the ER had the wrong name for my PCP and my neurologist was on vacation, thus she had to make an educated guess with what she had to work with. Because my calcium level was so low, she had to ask me whether I had tried to kill myself.

After this incident happened, a co-worker made sure that I had that paper on me, had another copy at her desk, another at our supervisor's desk and told everyone else where to find it so that there was NO way if I had one again at work that all the important information would not be available to those treating me.

At my first job I worked in a restaurant. I had a bad seizure there but know one looked at me different. They actually helped me. I told my boss ahead of time that I have them. The people I worked with helped me by keeping an eye on me. They had my dad's number so if I had another one they could call him. Just be honest with the people u work with and ask them that stuff. Maybe just keep an eye on you and someone's number that they can call if u have another one. If you take meds after you have one, just bring them with you. Just tell everyone so they know. That's what I did

When I worked at first job, it was at a restaraunt. I told them I had a seizure disorder, they still accepted me. I had one there and they called 911. They called my brother and he and my dad met me at the hospital. But they didn't look at me badly or anything. They even said they were sorry what happened. Don't feel bad you had one at work. I've been there too

I, when I was working, did have a seizure while cashiering. My customer caught me from hitting my head on the steel counter behind me. I was told that he saw my medical bracelet and basically saved my life. When I returned to work, co workers that were there just showed me their concern. All together in the 16.5 years working at Giant Food, I suffered quite a few. Get yourself a medical braclet that lists your medications and your condition!! I wish you the best!

try your best to inform them on what your preferences are and how they can assist you if it occurs again in the future like I always ask them not to call an ambulance unless I hit my head or warn them not to restrain because I am 6'3 and have decked someone to close to me while convulsing🤷‍♀️ They def walked on eggshells some acted as though I was a burden but truly some of these things are out of our control. So I've learned keeping them as informed as possible and encouraging them to do some research will help. Don't beat your self up even though I know it's embarrassing, I was carrying at bus tub the first time... Woke up covered in salsa and food. I got really lucky nurses we're at the bar. For the most part, they begin to understand pretty quickly.
