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 :)

MR.K! 03-06-2008 12:22 PM

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

Benji 03-06-2008 12:39 PM

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

ChelseaFan 03-06-2008 12:45 PM

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

Xander 03-06-2008 12:48 PM

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

Sod_James 03-06-2008 01:18 PM

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.

Kate.. 03-06-2008 01:20 PM

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

What does Epileptic mean :S

is it a disease in africa?

Kate.. 03-06-2008 02:04 PM

LOL!

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

Killian 03-06-2008 02:18 PM

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).

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.

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.
