Need Prayers -*UPDATED**
I'm freaking out, and could use some calming vibes, and good vibes/prayers for my sister.
She's 19. Has been having depression issues and been bouncing on and off different meds trying to find the right one (drs are dumb, I'm convinced). Well, last night she had a seizure. My mom called me at 11:30 at night, and I ended up not sleeping much.
Her roommate didn't do anything - didn't call anyone, just let it happen for like 2 minutes. My sister, L, bit her tongue pretty good, but seemed to be ok while she was on Skype with Gma waiting for my stepdad to pick her up.
She has never had any history of seizures, and mom and I are pretty convinced it's the meds - it was a side effect, but supposedly it was a miniscual one.
My sister is freaking, scared, and hates doctors, and they spent a good portion of time in the ER last night. She has an appointment at 10:30 today to get checked out, and see where we go from here.
I'm so pissed because my mother still doesn't see the damaging effects from switching all these damn meds. I'm scared because of all the health issues/deaths I've been dealing with on both sides of the family, and my sister is very very important to me.... I'm so on edge.
*sigh* Thanks for letting me vent - I just....I'm all over the board today. I've been stressed and sick for the last two weeks, and this certainly didn't help.....
Is it 10:30 yet?? Can you tell I have ZERO patience pants left??
CN: 19 yr old depressed sister had seizure out of nowhere. I'm freaking out, she's freaking out, mom is freaking out.
Mom still doesn't listen about the meds.
I need hugs.

[QUOTE]Irish- I hope you hear news soon! Lots and thoughts of prayers! Polka- <strong>How did they make your epilepsy go away?</strong>

<div>Evidently some people just grow out of it. Eventually it went away. I did need to take lots of different medications to try to stop myself from constantly having seizures though. I still am not supposed to be around strobe lights or spinning on tire swings or a few other things that can bring on seizures for people who are epileptic. </div>
They took her off the antidepressants
They gave her a new med - not sure if it's for the seizure or the depression - mom didn't say
They don't want to do an eeg yet - they want to have us observe her for a few days
They don't want her left alone. So I don't know what my mom plans on doing with her tomorrow and Friday. I offered to come pick her up tonight and have her come into the office with me, and hang out - she can bring her computer/books/pillow, whatever and my boss won't care. I have my own office, so she won't be bothering anyone.
Mom hates my boss - so I don't know. Her words to me "I have to have more time to think about it."
*Headdesk*
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Need Prayers : you are such a great sister. *hugs* Praying for you and her!

Thank you... that means a lot to me. My sisters and my brothers are like my own kids. For so long, when we were growing up - we were all each other had. I practically raised them. I'm terrified, especially since the last couple months have been rough family healthwise, that something is going to happen to her. I would crumble and die....
Thank you ladies so much, for your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to me. <3 <3
