Do you have a rescue med?
Who gives it to you? Do you have a roommate?
How long do your seizures last? How long are you in a post ictal state? Just curious, I know a couple people who had Post-Ictal bless, where you are extremely happy after the Ictal phase. Did that ever happen to you? I never did, I was always to miserable after.
I must have liked 20 questions as a kid, lol.
Later buddy,

I had a roommate years ago with epilepsy. He applied for ssi disability and was denied so appealed. Got up to court before supreme Court and they said there is a rule in ssi disability that states uncontrolled seizures is an automatic win. Do realize disability is contingent on having worked enough to qualify for it and then is 40 per cent of what you previously made. There is supplemental security income which can add to the regular ssi if you have very low ssi. Some states have help for disabled. Hope this info helps you in making a decision on whether or not to keep on with disability request.

Sorry for no talk. No rescue meds. Insurance won't cover. As of late they last for long periods of time. It always takes a trip to hospital and when I get home it's a longer period of time to recover. It's funny that everytime I go into hospital it's assumed I'm on drugs. Very annoying. Transport units are rood, so says my roommate. I'm not comfortable living on my own yet so I do have roommate. Trying hard, learning from you all. Thank you.
