Anybody Have Issues At Work With Coworkers Being Insensitive And Down Right Rude? Meds And Seizures Cause Me Memory Loss.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am a Systems Administrator. I am not as sharp as I was before the Tonic Clonics I have had and 1000s of Smell Auras. I try to keep lots of notes and reminders. I have gotten rude comments from 2 coworkers. One said that my memory lapses frustrate her. The other was yesterday, when a coworker asked if he could restart something that I use. I dont know everything that is on that server but just what I use. I said what is it going to bring down and he said...Do you work for "our company name"? I… read more

And one other thing is this I am never going to sue or anything like that just because I get hurt because of a seizure I mean I know that I could possibly get hurt but I'm not going to sue a company I work for because me having a seizure is not their fault now if I actually seriously got hurt because of a seizure then they would have to call the ambulance other than that they don't need to call

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I an sorry to hear about this struggle. I feel the same way and you are not alone that is beautiful thing about this site. Thats how it started for me also. Many medications later that controlled the large seizures but had horrible side effects but never controlled the 30 to 100 Aura seizures I would have everyday. Now those are much better from a diet change and meds. I understand gett8ng mentally and even physically worn out. We are stronger than we think sometimes. At least that is what my Neurologic Therapist tells me. Be kind to yourself and the hell with everyone else that isnt there for you. This is a huge life challenge.

I haven't run across too many insensitive co workers in my time, but some of the companies out there can be down right blank holes 😅
I've met a few people in here that hold the same attitude as I do!!! I'm one of those people who speak there mind, and refuse to take any 💩 from anyone

I didn’t sue or put any blame on my high school either when I had a seizure and cut my arm and finger on a saw in shop class
