Living With Epilepsy

This is a blog about epilepsy. I have lived with seizures for 25 years now and I want to share my experiences to allow others with epilepsy a chance to compare their experiences to mine and to allow those without epilepsy to understand further the condition and how it effects one. I had the VNS device implanted 4 years ago and have posted on that extensively. Please feel free to comment and I will try to respond.

Rescue cat detects oncoming seizures

Epileptic owner says his rescue cat is a life-saver
A cat which survived against the odds after being dumped in a river is now being hailed a hero for his amazing ability to predict his owner's epileptic fits.
Tee Cee, the cat, was rescued from a box dumped in a river when he was only a kitten after someone tried to drown him.
Now he has proved invaluable after he revealed he has the power to predict when his owner, Michael Edmonds, is going to have a fit.
Tee Cee sits close to Mr Edmonds and stares at his face prior to a seizure, his family said.
Mr Edmonds, of Crookes in Sheffield, has complex epilepsy and can suffer seizures without warning.
But now he is warned of an impending fit when Tee Cee sits close to him and stares at his face.
"When he first did it I thought it was a one-off," Mr Edmonds said. "But ever since then he just seems to know."
