I have much more embarrassing stories, don't worry. I probably shouldn't go into detail, but at least one involves wandering around post-ictal with my pants full of shit, then sitting in many different places so I could get that shit spread around as much as possible. I am the classiest of all!!!!

I've been on Topamax for at least four years, I think. I've tried Lamictal, and it didn't do a thing. I've taken just about every seizure med out there. Really, compared to my side affects on other seizure meds, the side affects on Topamax are very, very minimal. I remember one med I was on that made me sleep ALL…

I once had to run into a gas station and poop on the way to an appointment at the DMV. The toilet overflowed. I felt pretty awful, and the attendant yelled at me. It was a horrible day. And really, the problem wasn't that I was wildly and wantonly pooping in huge amounts, it was that their toilet was broken and…

I wasted so many hours when I first discovered that. It is a treasure.

I thought your comment was funny. Mine were free, too, though. They're not as noticeably lopsided now that they dangle a little lower, though.

My best friend and her sister were adopted (this was in the seventies), and they have always known. Of course best friend is Hawaiian and sister is dark Italian and both parents are pasty white Irish descent, so they would have figured it out. I don't think they've ever had any issues with it, though I remember best…

You really are a superhero. I was having a couple a week and sometimes a couple a day in my mid-twenties, and it was really, really hard for me. I'm down to a few a month (five last month, but I was very stressed) now, which I can handle. I did have an eleven month streak where I was seizure free.

Replying to promote. The more people say it, the better. Maybe someone will listen someday.

I mentioned this above. I have epilepsy, too, and that blurb pissed me off so much I couldn't read the comments without correcting it. Seriously? Are people still that ill informed.

As a person with epilepsy, I just have to say NEVER EVER EVER STICK ANYTHING IN SOMEONE'S MOUTH WHILE THEY ARE HAVING A SEIZURE. If you can, lay the person gently on the floor and set something soft under their head. When the violent part of the seizure is over, turn the person on their side in case they vomit. …

My parents raised goats. I absolutely adore them. They are so fun and funny. And baby goats are just adorable. We have a picture of some little baby goats sleeping in the chicken's nests that will just grab your heart every time.

Goats are the best animals ever (besides cats). Who doesn't like them? I will beat them with a stick!

I bet none of them has ever had IBS.

Newspapers are basically required to use the term "alleged" unless there is a conviction or else it is almost guaranteed they will be sued. Many of my friends and family have worked in journalism, and even if it is certain that the assault happened, the person who committed the assault admitted to it, there is a…

Yeah, I've spoken with (in political rather than informal settings) people who were representatives of Tea Party groups, and while they claim to not want government interference, every single one I've spoken to has wanted more government interference when it comes to issues of women's bodies, gay rights, and…

Babe, I didn't recommend it. I said it's what I use.

The "nasty, all-caps attitude" (really?) is because I am sick as fuck of hearing about it in every conversation about menstruation. And I was thirty-one when I tried it, so not really a child. I'm allowed to not like something you love. In fact, I'm allowed to vocally dislike something you love.

Sooooooo cute. I want to snorgle them soooo hard.

It usually isn't an awkward relationship for us, though. I've never been the jealous type and I'm just more comfortable in relationships that aren't monogamous. We've had this for almost a year (since the day we met, actually). He just has some serious, serious emotional issues and isn't always great with…

I'm feeling pissy.
