I never got sent to the nurses office when I had a seizure in school. My teachers must have waited them out, or chased me down the hallway ☺️
It really doesn’t bother me a whole lot, except for the not driving part.
I would quite often stop taking my meds because I didn’t want to be labeled as different. It would work great for anywhere up to a year and then I would get another seizure and it would be worse than prior ones. Only my closest friends knew about my condition and they would tell me if I was shaking or zoning out so I would usually have time to get somewhere safe. I can still tell u exactly what each schools nurses room looked like lol. But I was able to hide it from most ppl. And then the dr would up my dose and I was like a zombie walking around and still functioning, working, school and all. But I would get too used to that dose and would get “ break through seizures “ and again either change meds or up my dose of the old stuff. I always felt like I was just along for the ride while they played around with what they had or knew that might help me.
