No, it only includes the filth I mentioned.

I had a seizure after a car wreck once and got to learn all the fun stuff about seizures in case it may have given me a form of epilepsy. There was one time where I felt a bit light headed while driving and pulled over just in case but that passed and I just went on a couple minutes later. Thankfully I don't have epilepsy... especially since I like to drive so much...lol.

that's a scary possibility- seizure while driving.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure people with a bad case of epilepsy can't even get a license. I remember someone here mentioning that at some point now that i think about it. It was the reason they don't have a license or something. :(

interesting. my best friend used to have it happen to her also. we called it "head rushes". it only happened in the shower in the morning. I'm thinking it could have been related to the low-blood pressure thing. but I guess you could describe it as a glowing feeling. I actually got that feeling one time this summer (for the first time in 20 years probably). I was at a party (in the evening and not in a shower:p), standing up drinking and I told the person I was talking to, what was going on and I sat down and the feeling passed without me fainting. that was odd.

I knew an ISFp-Fe girl who used to fake epilepsy to get attention. She took this so far that she faked a tonic-clonic seizure while driving knowing that would get her license revoked. When the difficulties of not being able to drive in an area (Oklahoma) lacking for other forms of transportation became too much to bear, she had to tell every one that she was faking her condition. It was pretty sad. Moral of the story: WTF?!?
