Dear Doctor,
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so happy you are now living a good, productive life. Your Yaris looks very nice. Black wheels always seem to dress up. Can you share a bit, in layman's terms, what was the treatment that pulled you out after the first attempts failed? |

I had what is called "status epilepticus" which means a seizure won't stop in 10-15 min. At the same time I was working as a waiter in a local restaurant. I tried to keep both jobs. But I had seizures there as well on the next days after being discharged the first time. I remember having a tray full of glasses, and I just dropped to the floor. When I was taken to a local community hospital, I remember to being given a Phenytoin (Dilantin) overdose. I remember feeling very very bad, seeing a extremely white light and flashes with severe headache. On Three Kings Day, I was in the bathroom at home and fell to the floor. I do not remember until I woke up in another hospital, and after waking up I fell from the stretcher to the floor and hit my face. Then I wasnt' allowed to work anymore. I moved to gf parent's house at that time. And continued with seizures. After that second admission to the hospital, I was given like a bunch of drugs. Now that I see a copy that I have of the prescription, it was literally a bomb of antiepileptic medications at the same time. It made me feel horrible. My gf at that moment was in charge of scheduling all the meds, which were in total about 7 pills at different times. I tried not to take them, because instead of helping me feeling better, I was feeling worse, due to side effects. So I just pretended that I was just taking them. The day I crashed my Eclipse, after being taken to the Police Department for alcohol testing, my gf left me and dropped me at my brother's house. Never knew of her after that. Tried to call several times, and she hung up the phone several times. It is actually a long story. To answer your question about what pulled me out? Mainly medications, antipsychotics and antiepileptics, but mostly God. My destiny at that moment was a total disability. So, I started from zero again. Started to study all the subjects again while at home. And here I am today, proud owner of a Yaris, being enviromental friendly. |
