one of my least favourite things to be asked when I reveal my epilepsy dx is not really about the topic but the way they ask. It’s about if I wet myself often during these seizures and I don’t mean the neurologists or other doctors, I also remember someone asking this question to a girl on the radio. Btw she was honest about this and handle the question well.
the reason I feel uncomfortable with this is that it is a intrusive question by some of the people asking, they don’t know about my other symptoms of seizures that are much worse. And of course my history of being bullied for my enuresis and bedwetting tendency in childhood and teenage years is a big part, maybe even the main reason.
thank you for reading and I have to say despite not liking to be asked about this it’s still not something to be ashamed of the experiences with epilepsy. We are all just people after all.
