  • I'm not getting the video--I'm getting audio only.

  • @loge10 As the previous comments mentioned, you can switch to 240p resolution and the video will work. Thank you & best wishes.

  • I have not viewed the comments nor the video in several months. Thank you to everyone who suggested lowering the resolution to 240p, that does indeed work. For everyone who has asked, our daughter has been seizure-free since Nov. 2009. She is on a combination of low doses of ethosuximide and depakote twice daily. After over a year of tinkering with her meds, that was the magic bullet. Thank you all for your prayers and well-wishes.

  • this is absence of images XD

  • @smcross9 No, she is unaware that anything has happened. It's like a slice of time is removed. However, if she is reading or speaking then she loses her place. This has become a signal to her that she's had a seizure, although as I said she is unaware with regards to any particular sensation or thought.

    This video was taken about 2 years ago. Fortunately the seizures have since come under control with medication. She has not had a seizure in several months.

  • I was diagnosed with this in early 1991. It took sixteen years for my mother to find a doctor that believed her when she said there was something wrong. Because they were so subtle she only saw one...her first one....when I was almost 16. Everyone could see my potential but no one understood what I had. I was medicated for it (Tegretol) and I stopped taking it when I was 23 and have been seizure free for 13 years. I'm no longer drawn into a large black hole with no sound or feeling :)

  • 240 for protection ;3

  • this is sad... :(

  • switch to 240p, image will appear!
