I have epilepsy im 16 years old.I take my epilepsy as a gift from god that he gave me becuase he knows that i can deal with it along with all the other challenges that he has put in my life epilepsy has gave me a motivation to live life and continue to battle my epilepsy....:D
I have epilepsy, im 16 year old, my body stay so active.. that sometimes i cant sleep, and make my body do involuntary moves, sorry for my english, im from puerto rico. im takin medicine and i feel better, Thank God. but my type of epilepsy is not mild... the doctor said, it happens to teens alot, well im one of them, but she said, is not continuously.
The meds affect the liver which is why you shouldn't drink
BUT also, alcohol AND drugs affect the brain....... the SOURCE of epilepsy...... its a NEUROLOGICAL disorder. either is not a good idea if you want to stay seizure free.
Just think before you act. Everyone has different limits
@allde1 It depends for people. It's just because drinking and drugs affect how the brain works cause of what's in them. It can bring on a seizure. It's just a possibility and it's just better to not take the chance. I smoke pot every now and then and it doesn't bother me none either, but I wouldn't really want to go near drinking just cause when you start new meds they tend to have the same side affects as when youre really drunk. It's a scary thought of what they could do to in that manner.
yea right it doesnt screw with your life. I was supposed to have my drivers licence 2 years ago but because i have epilepcy i can't get it unless i go 6 months w/o a seizure
epilepsy Is a very scary thing. my mom has epilepsy. Its not a joke. I had to watch my mom fall down and split her head open when I was a little kid, because I was too small to catch her. so I just want to say goodbless to all with epilepsy.
That video wasnt great, I've had epilepsy since I was 12 and it took over my life, does alcohol make seizures more likely? i heard that it does so i dont drink although my cousin drinks and she has it too... im a bit confused, can anyone help?
my boyfriend was diagnosed with epilepsy. but i was wondering because he will sing on a big concert in school for opening the new school year after two months, you know. i wanted to ask if epileptic attacks are triggered by loud music... i'm so scared for him. so please somebody tell me.
Ive just been diagnosed wit epilepsy but its the kind where i have seizures durin the night wen im asleep. My sister watched me hav 1 and she thort i was dyin coz it sounded like i was choking then my eyes changed colour. Im on medication now which seems to be workin. Lana xo
i have epilepsy and yeah whateva about the video but script it with some more thought. the guy is like "i wanna be just like you" - roughly cut - to an audience of teenagers or children it sends all the wrong messages. firstly if they can't keep their heads around the main message and truth in campaign the line can easily slide out of context. if epilepsy isn't something to freak out about and what not you don't go saying "i want to be someone else" u say "i'm happy with who i am"
I had my first "big" seizure at easter and my friend told me it was quite a sight. I just made this gagging sound and they tought I was going to die. Really.
I am really impressed by the kids in this video. I myself have had epilepsy since I was 13 and completely understand the stigma and stereotypes other so called normal kids tend to label us with. They have no concept of how frightening it is to have a gran mal seizure nor do they realize that we can carry on normal lives. They assume us as being normal until they are informed we have something that goes above their comprehension.
I'm 27 and have had epilepsy since I was 13. As long as you are seizure-free for 6 months, you can get a signed note from your nuerologist to bring to the DMV and will be deemed safe to take the driver permit test.
Buddy... Your doing yourself a favor not getting drunk, but smoking pot is fine for seizures. In fact, sometimes doctors prescribe it for epilepsy. It in no way induces anything.
Nah bro, you can smoke, trust me, go for it. I have epilepsy and I smoked almost every day this past summer. The medication affects the liver, that's why you can't drink. But you can still get high.
Are you sensitive to lights? Do they trigger your seizures? If so I doubt any psychedelic is safe for you unfortunately. But if not I'd recommend psilocybin mushrooms.
Epilepsy has been around for thousands of years. One way or another, the world knows about Epilepsy, already.
What's needed is not just plain simple awareness. What's needed is every day practical TREATMENT & SUPPORT system. After all, if the government can afford to finance Alcoholics & Narcotics Anonymous to baby sit drug & alcohol addicts, why wouldn't the government SUPPORT treating Epilepsy victims?
great video!!!! i have epilepsy and this is awesome, all the people at my school know that i have it, but i dont think they know about what is going on just that i have seizures, i got diagnosed with it after i had surgery for chiari malformation. has anyone had chiari then be diagnosed with epilepsy?
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was a month old. I have Petit Mal & yeah, it sucks. It's my biggest secret & I tend to keep it quiet, but I REFUSE to let it take over my life. I was an honor roll student all through school & an athlete- track, swim, colorguard & cheerleading.
My high school tried to kick me off the cheerleading squad because of it until my parents threatened to sue the school, using the Americans with Disabilites Act. Needless to say, they backed down & let me cheer
never let epilepsy take over you life ive had a great childhood know i am an married man with two kids my motto is a fit takes 5 to 10 min live for the rest of the time, and the video games whats the big deal there other things you can do, or even just play for a half an hour then take a brake that's what memory cards are for,
my doctor is a pain in the ass, he keeps asking me a question, and if i dont reply, he keeps saying is there a problem? is there a problem? NO I dont have a FUCKING PROBLEM!!!!
I understand that. You can't join the armed forces or become a cop or an agent. I had alot of plans of doing a physical job (such as the above) and when I developed epilepsy at age 13 (nearly 14 years ago) - my options were minimized.
My son was 11 when he was diagnosed. He is 13 now. The first thing he said when he was diagnosed was the same thing - He wanted to join the Military - but I didnt think he would be able to.
I just watched this video after receiving a 'thank you' message from a parent because I placed and epilepsy warning on one of my videos. I have now made sure that all my videos that include potentially harmful material have this warning and urge others to do the same with their vids. It doesn't hurt to take a responsible approach.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are ignorant, including school teachers, and need to be educated. Thank you for making this video and sharing your stories. My 14-year-old was recently diagnosed, but doesn't want anyone to know. Besides family, he's only told a few close friends. Surprisingly enough, one of his teachers was not understanding and transferred him out of class. You'd think that adults, especially teachers, would be more sensitive and compassionate, but not always. Education is key.
does anyone else find that adults are more judgemental about epilepsy than kids? only one person my age ever used epilepsy as an insult and he later apologised to me, but a lot of teachers seem to think its ok to make comments and gossip about it where other people can hear them.(this was how a lot of kids in my school found out i have epilepsy, & led to a lot of confusion - they thought i was photosensitive and freaked every time i went near a computer). Anyone else having this kind of trouble?
I am in a Play called "death COmes To Us All, Mary Agnes" and my character has to have a seizure on stage. I am really nervous about offending someone in the audience so I watched this video to get a better feeling of what it's like to have epilepsy and get seizures. From what i understand the seizure my character has is a Grand Mal seizure and it was triggered by the stress caused by her husband murdering her dog.
I just had my first seizure yesterday, and it was scary, any advice. I got knocked out of my Calculus class, but everyone seems to be very supportive I cant drive for the next 6 months (state law) even though my only trigger is doing complicated and intense "solving" problems...
advice: try to go to sleep so ur brain can rest and recollect itself. my first seizure was awful. I woke up not only with a big headache i also had: 3 broken teeth and a huge scar under my chin and apparently i was found in my room with my face covered in blood.. and also doing alot of stressful work can not only cause seizures but even after a seizure if u try to attempt these it makes u recover more slowly...
hey this is a really great video, I have epilepsy and have grande mal seizures. Luckily I've not had any bad experiences with friends or anything and they've been really supportive. From everyone elses stories it sounds like i'm lucky! and it really shouldn't be like that.
I had to drop out of high school of because of epilepsy. I Missed 6 days in every class in the first quarter. and if i miss 20 days i fail the class so i was basicly thinking no why bust my ass when i have a good chance to fail. i would have a 45 sec. seizure then sleep for about 3-4 hours. i mean damn it i already have dyslexia because of the seizures... so yes seizure did mess up my life i am not normal. I agree with a lot. but i am not normal enough to my schools and stuff
I'm a 21 yr old with epilepsy diagnosed at 15.I can't drive a car,to be safe some of my friends need to know I have epilepsy and what to do, I can't party or have fun when there are strobe lights,I can't have a bath.There are so many restrictions and it can feel so lonely, I also wish it wasn't so stigmatised and was just accepted in society.
I had to take drivers ed.... even though i can't drive. they said stay in drivers ed or go to a to a all seinor gym class. take a gym class that would make me have seizures or take a pointless class because i will prabably never need...
Yeah. sucked ass. i didn't want to do more PE when because when i get worked up like running or just get my body very active and heated its easier for me to have a seizure
It's about time society recognizes the agony and devastating effects of Epilepsy as much as it recognizes stroke, cancer, diabetes, etc. After all, adversity is just adversity, one way or the other. Let's raise our voice and root for ourselves as much as rooting for others who can NOT stand for themselves. IT'S ABOUT TIME TO STAND UP & CHALLENGE THE CROOKED SYSTEM.
I have simple partial seizures, and the first thing I did when i got old enough to understand what it was I had was do research on it. I learned alot and it's helped.
My Seizure videos are very interestingly educational. One can see the Grad Mal seizures and EEG test in the same screen. Thanks to my Neurologist Dr. Chen at VHC and Neurologists, Doctors and nurses of Staford University Hospital, Department of Neurology. Stanford, Ca. I finally, learned a lot about my seizures, which I never knew before. Education & support is the key answer for Epilepsy.
My daughter who is almost 8 was dx with Benign Rolandic Epilepsy, hers were partial seizures affecting the face and one side of the body) she is currently taking Trileptal and has been seizure free for almost 2 years. :)
Are stereotypical reactions like this really common in this day and age? Where is logic in peoples minds? "...pick up where you left off" -exactly. People should recognise and understand. Folks that have epilepsy should feel comfortable enough to mention it in a matter or fact way and those around them should be able to deal with it without getting hysterical.
have u heard of the ketogenic diet(im not sure if its spelt like that) its for ppl with extreme cases of epilepsy were medicines dnt work. 1/3 are completely recoved and the other 2/3 their seizures are significantly reduced. The cure takes about 3-5 years tho
I don't think it's been established yet exactly why ppl sometimes die after having a seizure. I'm glad you've decided to gather information abt epilepsy rather than ranting away about us being 'retards' or 'freaks' - which is a sign of ignorance, fear and prejudice. Thank you for not being like that. Check my one and only video (so far) and the moronic remarks made by a certain 'person'.
i heard of a case wer an 8 year old got a seizure,choked on her vomit and died... u have my best regardsXX wen they say freak out its in the context of education...they shouldnt freak out about wat they dnt know
Everyone is sorry for you loss- however, the point is blantantly that those with epilepsy shouldn't be ostracized for their condition - it's a diesease the same as diabetes, not something which forces those afflicted to be a social pariah.
After Dilantin, Keppra, Lamictal,,, failed to stop my seizures, I'm going for brain surgery. To trace and locate the sources of my seizures for pre-brain surgery analysis, the video contenting my EEG test of two grand mal seizures in a single day is recorded and produced by Department of Neurology, Stanford University.
im fine just with lamictal and frisium...urs sounds very severe and its usually not recomended to do brain surgery for epilepsy...u must go for a second opinion, even a third...dats wat they recommend here
Frustrated with prescription drugs I demanded for Brain Surgery or anything that could stop my seizures. I just want to go back to the normal ordinary life style I was accustomed all of my life. I'm not convinced surgery is going to stop my seziures but I just fdon't know what else to look for. IT'S MIND BOGGLING TO KEEP WORRYING OF THE NEXT SEIZURE & LOSE EVERYTHING YOU WORKED FOR.
If I had a achioce, I would NOT be watching and commenting on this videos but I don't have a choice because my epilepsy. Since when did epilepsy and ramifications became a choice?
If I had a chioce, I would NOT be watching and commenting on this videos but I don't have a choice because my epilepsy. Since when did epilepsy and ramifications became a choice?
my seizures, I feel ur pain, I got epilepsy too, and i couldnt stand the fact that i am still not alowwed to play video games!!!:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@ and all the oppertunties that i am missing
u can go to a doctor and he gives u a proof, that u have epilepsy and u can remake the exam. If they dont let you do the exam again u can (sue?)(lawsuite?) them because of discrimination
in the end wat happened was is that i wasnt allowed 2 do the exam they put me a grade lower than predicted which thank god wasnt that low but i do wish i cud hav done that exam and get the higher grade...
That's awful. I'm 15 and recently my absense epilepsy has evolved into...*cant remember the word* with grand mal seizures. My biggest fear with them is having one in an exam, or on stage because I do a lot of dancing and acting. I hope your grade wasn't too bad. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll bear that in mind in my exam on 22nd November. It's Science...so I guess I'm screwed anyway! xxx
good luck in ur exam! i have always hated science...still dnt like it lool... talking about 'biggest fear'. alot of seizures are caused by stress so tell yourself to relax which will reduce the chance of u having a seizure. Pkus as someone gets older the seizures become less. i started them at 15 and as time has gone by they have kinda stopped :)))) so this is an encourigement to those who may feel its der for life cos its not!
Really? I didn't know that they reduced in numbers as you grew older. Well that's the silver lining I guess! Thanks, I need all the luck I can get to pass that exam, coz I'm certainly not going to pass it on my extensive scientific knowledge! xxx
dnt worry i always hated science and i passed hehe. so yes as u get older they do get less, its good for us!! as for science my worst one was physics and im so happy i dnt do it anymore lool
these kids have a very black and white point of view... they make out like anyone non epileptic discriminates them...its true for some non epileptics but it seems that they are alot because this minority makes alot of noice
Thank you for your information. Have you wondered, if the politicians, "law makers", would care more if they were the once who are having the seizures many of us are forced to succumb, live and die with every hour, day, week, month, year after year?
More than seizures, what does it take for the politicians to have a clear understanding of epilepsy and help vicims of seizures?
about working hard at school-that did apply for me...not that im dumb or anything lol but after a seizure i always feel headache and feel like vomiting. also EVERY time i have a seizure i have to go to the hospital even though I have it lots of times so i miss school which is awful but now that im applying to university im determined to do my best... and also i am treated like im an invalid sometimes!!
i AM embarassed that i have it... i mean ive been on a million gazillion (yeah over dramatic, but its tough switching form one to another, at 16) ive had it since i was 12. when i zone out, and come back, i always make a joke out of it... people think that epilepsy is something the mentally ill have and i dont like it :( ... and what sucks the most is the side effects from all the medicine. but i really like this video. thank u for making it.
if u got a "status epilepticus" and a emergency doctor cant get in to your room to give u seizure calm down medicaments u die so its better to dont have a lock. Talk to ur mom, that she knock on the door before she comes in and make a shield to your door with the topic: KNOCK BEFORE U ENTER or smthing
I got bullied from epilepsy. People called me 'shake rattle and roll' and used to make fun of me so much, and the depression made me have seizures, and having seizures made me depressed in turn, so it was a horrible cycle.
i can really relate to what u are saying. when i first had seizures some so called friends abandoned me thinking im a sort of freak. one perosn personally told me that they did not want me to their party in case i have a seizure and everyone will go all crazy... some people can be so ignorant...
My mother has epilepsy and it stinks im only 11 and she cant do anyhting with us plus no dad income cuz he spilt so it's hard cuz she cant work i hope someday in the future they"ll find a cure for this so people never have to go through this!!!!!
i have only just got eperlepcy and the doctors took a year to find out i had it im on eperlin chrono howeva you spell it but im trying to get on with mylife and try forgetting about it
Afraid of losing my job, my car, my driving licensde, my home and my friends, I ignored my seizures and my wife's constant nagging to seek medical help for over 5 years but seziures continued striking. Finally, I lost everything except sezizures. Therefore, Alex, Smily boy,Listen, You better take your Epilepsy seriously now before it's too.
these kids act like having seizures is just one big joke well i got news for them its not these things are going to kill us one day and i dont want that to happen so thats why i say COME THE FUCK ON PEOPLE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A CURE FOR CANCER SINCE FUCKING JESUS WAS IN THE 3RD GRADE HOW ABOUT YOU LOOK FOR A CURE FOR EPILERSY I WILL EVEN VOLINTIER TO BE A TEST SUBJECT I WILL TRY WHAT EVER YOU WANT SHOTS A PIL A DRINK ANYTHING JUST FIND A CURE
Can you please help me stop my seizures by writing letters on my behalf to Senator Dianne Feinstein of California to intervene on my behalf in expediting my Medical application, therefore, I could have my brain surgery to stop my seizures and live as normal life as I always had before being struck with endless Grand Mal seizures.
Can you please help me stop my seizures by writing letters on my behalf to Senator Dianne Feinstein of California to intervene on my behalf in expediting my Medical application, therefore, I could have my brain surgery to stop my seizures and live as normal life as I always had before being struck with endless Grand Mal seizures.
i got epilepsy but now im on medication, i feel fine now but the things that pisses me off about it, I am not alowed to play video games, go swimming, ride my bike, and all the stuff i cant do.
That's messed up(the not playing videogames) I can't go swimming either or ride a bike or drive but epilepsy shouldn't stop someone from playing videogames.
I had a seizure the first time when I played videogames for about 18 hours of so straight, and infact I think seizures are induced more by stress than flashes.
your doctor is crap for telling you cannot do these things,its not the activities you do that will cause u all of these, is stress, so if you handle stress well i see no reason why you should not do what you like... i do martial arts, work,schoolwork,hanging out wiv friends,driving lessons...not making myself sound superior but you should not let your epilepsy take over your whole life.
Just like Alcoholics Anonymous, why isn't the Epilepsy Foundation available any where in USA, except designate areas? Who finances the EFA?
Besides dispensing redudant self-serving brochures, how, what, where and when did the EFA helped any victim of Epilepsy since it ever came to happen around? I wonder, if the EFA have any idea that victims of seizures are losing every thing they have ever earned for persistent seizures? WHERE'S THE HELP?
Hi Paula, how are you doing lately? Have you ever thought or considered that Brain Surgery might cure or reduce your seizures? Did you ever asked your neurologist about Brain Surgery to cure your epilepsy? Check it out with your neurologist or any other sources of Brain surgery in curing Epilepsy and see if it helps. Frustrated of 10 years old seizures, medications and side effects, I'm demanding for Brain surgery, knowning that I've 70% chance to stop my seizures.
Folks, I thought I was alone but thanks for your confirmation that our medications may be causing us to have HEART ARRHYTHMIA. I'm still getting VERY suspicious of my medications. Are they helping or hurting? Like you see on MySeizures videos, I'm wondering WHY I'm beating my chest so hard before I'm totally knocked out with seizures? It seems, I'm having CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA- A DISTURBANCE IN THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL CONDITION. SEIZURES ON SEIZURES, is my medication causing my CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA?
News for the guys in this video that say they want to be doctors.
There's a doctor in my city who started having seizures after a stroke, and lost his license to practice medicine, for the slight chance that he might have a seizure while treating someone, or even worse... while operating on someone.
So if you think you're going to medical school, don't be surprised when they turn you down for public safety reasons.
Thisw would help out people in my school because last year in PE class, I would blank out on my field and apparently regain consiesness on the opponents side of the field. I have to take medicin for that, which sucks. All of my classmates were worried about me, and the other team thought I was cheating. They just don't know about this.
I started having seizures as a teen, I wish I would have had a video like this available to help educate the people in my life. It isn't easy being a teen who has seizures, and it's sad how many people stereotype us.
You wonder why Epilepsy is not discussed on any television or radio shows. That's because Employers and their Representatives pay off tv executives to not air programs that share light on this subject for fear of thousands of lawsuits that they know they're liable for because they discriminate against us daily, in every occupation and even in public places.
well ur gay for saying that becuz my mom have epilesy and trust me i wish she was faking becuzz it sucks growing up ur mom can tgo on vbacations or go anyware with you cuz she have a zesure ok well get ur story strait gosh retard
Totally fucking amazing how fucked up ad firms are. This ad is VERY bad for people with epilepsy!!! Fast shitty jump cuts and flashing lights and all that shit.... soon, there will be a movement to take care of this stuff, and class action lawsuits against FOX et al. who use such techniques to "get the attention of the viewer" which have spawned a generation of chronic fatigue - fibromyalgia - and effected epileptics...
TOO BAD, My friend you are taking too hard & personal. Just remember, the medical industry is not there to save you from your seizures or save a life. The medical industry is there to make a PROFIT.
yah I know, I've seen the movie and have been very active against this barbaric industry for years. One would think though that the propaganda machine wouldn't have so little regard for their subjects! I mean, they have to at least pretend to be their friends!!!
To every teenager whos watching this; If you`ve got epilepsy, theres a good chance you`ll get rid of it some day. I got my first seizure at age 15, and I had regular seizures for 6 years, grand mals. I`m 30 years now, and for almost 10 years, I`ve had no seizures, thanks to medication and diet. Theres hope!
As you can see in MySeizures video on youtube, my wife & many of my friends use to panic. I've been suffering Grand Mal Epileptic seizures for over 10 years now & no mediaction has worked for me yet, therefore I'm praying & hoping my brain surgery is going to work out. It's great these kids are teaching society about Epilepsy. Still, Society can do better. The media, should actually show SEIZURES IN ACTION so people can learn & help the victims of seizures. EDUCATION IS POWER.
My brother has seizures he got them after some asshole hit him in the temple with brass knucks now he has a black spot on his brain.I know who did it to him and if anything ever happens to my brother I'm going to fuck him up!!!
Im a teen with epilepsy and luckyly i have many people around me who help me through it because they have witness or gone through it

Nah bro, you can smoke, trust me, go for it. I have epilepsy and I smoked almost every day this past summer. The medication affects the liver, that's why you can't drink. But you can still get high.

but the neurologist said it would make me have one of those seizures , what about smoking salvia divinorum would that be ok

Are you sensitive to lights? Do they trigger your seizures? If so I doubt any psychedelic is safe for you unfortunately. But if not I'd recommend psilocybin mushrooms.

Im not sensitive to lights or anything like that so I should be ok

Epilepsy has been around for thousands of years. One way or another, the world knows about Epilepsy, already.
What's needed is not just plain simple awareness. What's needed is every day practical TREATMENT & SUPPORT system. After all, if the government can afford to finance Alcoholics & Narcotics Anonymous to baby sit drug & alcohol addicts, why wouldn't the government SUPPORT treating Epilepsy victims?
Shedding tears in dark shadows needs to be over.

I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was a month old. I have Petit Mal & yeah, it sucks. It's my biggest secret & I tend to keep it quiet, but I REFUSE to let it take over my life. I was an honor roll student all through school & an athlete- track, swim, colorguard & cheerleading.
My high school tried to kick me off the cheerleading squad because of it until my parents threatened to sue the school, using the Americans with Disabilites Act. Needless to say, they backed down & let me cheer

Unfortunately, a lot of people are ignorant, including school teachers, and need to be educated. Thank you for making this video and sharing your stories. My 14-year-old was recently diagnosed, but doesn't want anyone to know. Besides family, he's only told a few close friends. Surprisingly enough, one of his teachers was not understanding and transferred him out of class. You'd think that adults, especially teachers, would be more sensitive and compassionate, but not always. Education is key.

does anyone else find that adults are more judgemental about epilepsy than kids? only one person my age ever used epilepsy as an insult and he later apologised to me, but a lot of teachers seem to think its ok to make comments and gossip about it where other people can hear them.(this was how a lot of kids in my school found out i have epilepsy, & led to a lot of confusion - they thought i was photosensitive and freaked every time i went near a computer).

I am really nervous about offending someone in the audience so I watched this video to get a better feeling of what it's like to have epilepsy and get seizures. From what i understand the seizure my character has is a Grand Mal seizure and it was triggered by the stress caused by her husband murdering her dog.

I woke up not only with a big headache i also had: 3 broken teeth and a huge scar under my chin and apparently i was found in my room with my face covered in blood.. and also doing alot of stressful work can not only cause seizures but even after a seizure if u try to attempt these it makes u recover more slowly...

There's a doctor in my city who started having seizures after a stroke, and lost his license to practice medicine, for the slight chance that he might have a seizure while treating someone, or even worse... while operating on someone.
So if you think you're going to medical school, don't be surprised when they turn you down for public safety reasons.

You wonder why Epilepsy is not discussed on any television or radio shows.

I've been suffering Grand Mal Epileptic seizures for over 10 years now & no mediaction has worked for me yet, therefore I'm praying & hoping my brain surgery is going to work out. It's great these kids are teaching society about Epilepsy. Still, Society can do better. The media, should actually show SEIZURES IN ACTION so people can learn & help the victims of seizures. EDUCATION IS POWER.

I have had epilepsy since I was 17; almost 12 years now. Great video and youtube is an awesome way to get the awareness out there.
