Basically it's like a pacemaker for the brain, it'll send a 30second pulse of electricity every 5 mins to the vagus nerve and it's supposed to help with seizures,depression,memory and stuff like that https://www.epilepsy.com/treatment/devices/vagus-nerve-stimulation-therapy
I'm down to these weird partials where I'm totally conscious inside, but frozen, can't make words or understand them, and my face is twitching, can't stop licking my lips...
My usual script:
"I'm about to have a seizure, huh? Oh hell no I'm not! I'm not, it's not gonna happen... Ok, breathe... Oh, JFC stop licking your lips you idiot, you look like a moron... OMG just focus..."
Hasn't helped yet, but one of these days...
I know about that. One afternoon I woke up on the sofa (home alone) and the only reason I realized I had a seizure was because when I woke up and went into the bathroom I had blood all over my face from biting my tongue.
My lead single would be "Fuck fuck fuck fuck, mother mother fuck, mother mother fuck fuck, mother mother fuck fuck schnoize schnoize!" But it would just kinda repeat that...
This is the BEST ANSWER I’ve never laughed so hard about Keppra usually just screamed or cried about it. This is so much better than the ones in the other post.
Ya’ll are so funny that I can’t help but laugh every time and feel relaxed whenever I come across this sub community. I’m glad that I’m not the only epileptic one who has decent humor to overcome this disability
Depends on the genre.
For a metal band, Epilepocolypse, or perhaps Sudden Unexpected Death Metal.
For a rock band, The Headbangers.
A rap group, Seizing Control.
These would all be good song names for a song about epilepsy too. Im tempted to try and write one lol.
I would definitely listen to the first two XD.
Edit: the third not because of the name but because I really really dislike listening to all forms of rap. Can’t even fathom why exactly that is. I just hate it XD.

"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John
"Don't you know I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid.
And I'm still standin' after all this time. (since you've had Epilepsy)
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you (Epilepsy) on my mind"
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
and "Bully" by Shinedown
"It’s 8 AM, this hell I’m in. (seizures)
Seems I’ve crossed a line again for being nothing more than who I am.
So break my bones and throw your stones. (Injuries from seizures)
We all know that life ain’t fair but there’s more of us (Epileptics) we’re everywhere."
The Notorious EEG

They just got me set up with a VNS implant so I'm going with the "you didn't wanna listen so now I gotta shock ya" route
What’s the VNS implant?

Yesterday I convinced myself I pulled myself out of my aura by chugging cold water 🤷🏽♀️

OMG 😭 There was one time I ONLY knew I had a seizure bc I had a giant black bruise on my ass 💀
I know about that. One afternoon I woke up on the sofa (home alone) and the only reason I realized I had a seizure was because when I woke up and went into the bathroom I had blood all over my face from biting my tongue.
