Hi. My name is Kelly. I have been reading the posts here since that hoax about Nancy McKeon and I finally decided to post here myself. I need some advice though. Back in Feb., I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder. It has been hard to deal with. I am a competetive figure skater since '98 and now they say I have to wait at least 6 months before I can go back. Has anyone ever gone through something similar to this? If you have, do you have any advice for me? Thanks.

Hello Kelly, well HEL-LO Kelly, it's so nice, to see you back, where you, belong!

Hi and welcome to the boards! I'm sorry but I don't have any advice for you.

You'll enjoy the boards probably- after 4 months EVERYBODY changes- they cook and clean like crazy!!!

Welcome to the boards, really sorry about what you're going through. :(

Thanks you two. I didn't expect to get replies so fast. I feel welcome already. That's ok if there isn't advice out there. :) Thanks again. I will try to be on here a lot. :wave:

Welcome, Nancy rules!

Welcome to the boards. :D

Jinnygirl88:I just PMed you.

Yes I recieved it. Thank you. I also answered. Everyone, thank you for your welcomes:)

Welcome to the board, Kelly. :wave:

Welcome to the boards Kelly :wave:

i have a nephew that was diagnosed with a seizure disorder; it has been pretty tough for him as they try different medications and such, it has prevented him from working and caused his medical bills to pile up. :(

Welcome Kelly!:wave:

Hi Kelly, All I can tell you is just do as the doctor says and take it easy for a while. Good luck with your skating when you go back. :)

Hey! :wave: Welcome to the boards!

My mom has seizures too. They told her the same thing...6 months. She had to (legally) wait 6 months before she could drive, just in case she had one while driving.

Yep, they tell that to everybody. I have a FOAF (friend of a friend) that has a seizure disorder as well, and whenever he has a seizure, he has to wait 6 months before he can do anything else...It's the standard for everybody w/ seizure disorders.


By the way, :welcome:, Kelly! Enjoy your stay here! :D

:welcome: to the boards, Kelly!

Welcome to the boards, Kelly. :)

I already told Kelly this, but my 22 year old brother passed away three years ago from a seizure disorder. He had Grand Mal seizures. They were no fun to watch. He was diagnosed at age 13 and had to take medication everyday. He never knew he was having one, but one of uncle's has them, and can tell when one is coming on. People who have never seen a seizure may laugh, and think they're joking around, but they're not. My brother joked with me, and made the movements like he was having one when he really wasn't. That made me upset. My whole family misses him dearly, just like anyone does when a loved one passes away, but we are doing alright.

:)

Aww thanks everyone. I am going to listen and wait 6 months. I really have no choice lol I hope I like it here. I am used to posting on Fan Fiction boards so I hope to be come used to these. Again, thank you for all the kind words. :wave:

You're welcome, Kelly. We are all glad youre taking the advice and support here, and using it to your advantage. :)

Aloha, Kelly. :wave: Welcome to SO! My name's Lauren.
