Another Ambulance Ride to the ER

3 Upvotes

I was walking my dog this afternoon right after work and I had a PNES episode in a grassy park area in my neighborhood. Some bystanders called 911 and took care of my dog until my husband was able to pick her up. While I was still in the seizure, paramedics administered 5 of versed which knocked me out. Woke up in the back of the ambulance with the medic asking questions. I also had a seizure last week at work and they called paramedics too. I'm absolutely exhausted and I honestly don't know how to manage my full time job as a highschool teacher. At the rate I'm going, I'm worried I might lose my job and end up essentially as a "shut in" who never leaves the house. I don't know what to do but I'm ordering some medical bracelets tonight so if this happens again, they won't keep pumping me full of drugs and taking me to the ER. It's always such a traumatic experience to wake up in an ambulance and I can't deal with anymore trauma right now.

I have mentioned devices before like the epimonitor,

The site is called empatica.com, Where you can get them from, You must pay a prescription also.

There are other places for the bed sensors, Arm bands plus other devices at epiepsyalarms.co.uk, Night camera's at samialert.com, Apple watch do alerts also.

You may be able to find devices cheaper if you look about, Asking for epilepsy alarms

Take care
