Big Brother made me realise I was epileptic!
 

I never knew I was epileptic uptin BB8 last year, right in the middle of the series when someone was evicted... I suddenly had an epeleptic fit. Freaked the life out of me it did!

According to my doctor it's quite mild but I still have to take a tablet every day.

Makes me chuckle every time I watch BB now :)

yeah one of my friends are similar to you, he has to take a tablet too, hope your okay !

OMG.....thats shocking.......i wouldnt ever watch BB again, if it did that too me! lol

That's just crazy, I'd be to worried it will happen again

I wouldn't watch big brother again, I would be terrified!

My brother is epileptic, its quite scary when he has a fit. I was home alone once with him when he had a fit it freaked the hell out of me.

Lol you lot are so much more scared than me!

No because the doctor said it's not strong, it's only a mild case, and as long as i take my pill there's only like 0.1% chance of me having a fit.

It's going to take more than that to stop me watching bb lol

remember 2 take your tablet then! :wink: or close your eyes :wink:

What does Epileptic mean :S

is it a disease in africa?

LOL!

No it's where you have fits normally due to flashing lights.

I have a very mild form of epilepsy (absence attacks), but it doesn't get provoked by flashing lights. I just have to take a tablet every day too. :spin2:

A disorder of the nervous system in which abnormal electrical activity in the brain causes seizures (sudden uncontrolled waves of electrical activity in the brain, causing involuntary movement or loss of consciousness).

o so like **** attacks (no offence)

Omg never knew you were eplieptic.

Oi! :nono:

Omg Kate =( x
Must have been awful =( x

How many have ou had since ? x

What?

i have it aswell but mine are always at night when i am asleep, very scary for hubby i cant be on my own at all, cant even have a bath on my own i now have them in the day aswell, they olny started after i had a car crash, just rember to take your tablets it is scary, oh and no there not **** attacks lemo there was no need for that sorry

You can't say something offensive than palm it off as 'no offence'.

Seriously, being ditzy isn't 'funny' when you come out with something offensive.

'****' is short for spastic, which is a word used against disabled people. Read up. It helps you not be an offensive imbecile.

Aww, sorry to hear that Kate.

Nickyy, your sig is SOOOO cute...little Georgie :bigsmile:

Are you for real? Not only is it offensive buts its also widely incorrect and you're way off the mark. A '**** attack' as you call it is, as Lauren said, to do with disabled people. An epileptic fit caused by flashing lights etc cause the brain to switch itself off then restart itself because it can't handle the electric activity. Epilepsy is not a disability.

Its nothing to joke about - when you know people who suffer with it it greatly affects your life as well, not just theirs. It seems a terrible thing to live with, I couldn't imagine being in so much fear.

Think before you post.

Meanie.

Why Say That For.

:(.


Its not a **** attack.
Its a fit, which is like i dont know how to explain it.

But think before you post because it can come out mean!.

Conzors
xx

**** ATTACKS!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

That was disgusting! What makes it 10 times worse is saying no offence after it! Are you insane!?

well im sorry but i dont know what that means in blonde,


i didnt mean **** **** **** attack god. everyone says it.


Admin deleted. Anymore insults and you could receive a warning.

We were learning about epilepsy in Biology today.

Kate, I hope your okay, and remember to take those pills to stop it from happening again. :flowers:

Like I said, the "ditzy" excuse just makes you look like an imbecile, not cool and funny.

Also, not everyone says it - just pathetic little children who don't know the actual meaning of it. Look beyond the school yard and understand real life problems. You said sorry, then validated the word '****' by saying everyone says it.

well how am i ment to put it then? how am i supposed to say it


sheesh. ffs i didnt know what it ment done diddims.

Get educated pal.

Who you talking to when you said that?

this guy who added me on msn and started to flirt when ew. god. gross.

I am educated just loads of things i dont know im year 9 yeah :) obviously. but still.

Okay, so you know the future - don't use any variation of the word **** to describe a disbaility, including spastic, ****zie, ******, retarded, tard... anything like that. It's not a scientific term and shouldn't be used to describe neither a mental nor physical disability.

It's a slang term used in bullying of disabled people. Much like the 'n' word for black people, except disabled people don't use it themselves either.

The word 'fit' would have sufficed.

What Guy.


And i wasntusingf that language last year!

Trust me, if somebody referred to me as a '****' due to my mild condition, I would be extremely offended. It's a rude, inappropiate and a word used far too loosely in modern society.

In this case you have pulled an 'Emily'.

Me probably when he insulted me on msn, telling to go die and stuff.

lmao well racisism is totally diff


anyway can we shh about me saying **** ^o) i didnt mean it in a offencive way i used it in a example.

i said grfo and get a hair cut lmao ^o)

In what way? Disabled people get prejudiced against too, and for something as equally as trivial.

Omg. he said you stared flirting with him.

He wishes lol.

Joke :)

xx

nah


i have a bf sooo rather not do that thing,



ANYWAY CAN WE PLEASE SHHH about me saying **** ffs.
