I’m disabled and I wish I would’ve heard that as a kid tbh. I’ve always wished I could just “be normal” but that sentence really made me realize that I am, I just have some things going on that my healthy peers don’t
Poor Lucy, she's such a beautiful child. I certainly hope they can help her out by finding what is causing her seizures, poor lamb. It would have been so traumatic for Lucy, Mum and step-dad.
I've seen Americans say the elderly get mistreated in Europe and I've not witnessed that ever. Of course there's fringe cases, but almost everybody cares about the elderly's wellbeing here.
Does this series get awards? It is incredible. The young man who was beaten up, can relate better to his father, because we live and learn - life does that.
That’s my favorite part of 24 hours in A&E both of King’s College, and St. Georges and inside the ambulance and air ambulance ER, they’re real, people who are actually sick people who are actually seriously injured people who might actually die, and some who have actually died.
I felt the same way Tony’s wife did when we were told that my beloved husband, Robert, needed a new pair of lungs in order to live. I get you ma’am. I’ve been there and out blessings and prayers go out to you, Tony and your whole family. ❤️❤️😿😽
Tony and his wife are such a beautiful couple inside and out! Lucy is gorgeous and my heart goes out to her Mom and step Dad, I pray they find the cause and can treat her effectively! So precious!
I was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy about 8yrs ago. I had to go to a specialist hospital who had me on a video EEG for 4 days that captured several different types of seizures. After many drug trials, it was figured out i was drug resistance and ended up having a VNS implant to help slow down my seizure activity. I still have breakthrough seizures. I was in a severe car accident 2 yrs prior to diagnose. I was hurt badly.
I have generalised epilepsy too *high five* didn't start having seizures until I was 18. What's the implant like? Did it change your behaviour or moods or anything?
@@angelaisacliche the main thing that is a side effect is when you swipe the magnet across the implant is your voice changes a little. There is no behavioral change. My device is set to every 1 1/2 minutes to send impulses to the the vagus nerve. I made a video on my channel not l8ng after I got my first one. I got my battery replaced in January of 2023. I found out when I was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy that I had also been having J.M.E. since my late teens. ( aka drop seizures) I never knew that's what was happening until I was having several different kinds of seizures a day. I would be holding something in my hand and suddenly it would drop like my brain would forget to hold it. Also I could just be standing or walking an my brain forgets how to hold me up an I hit the floor. Then I also have petite mal and grand mal seizures..... and recently in the past 6 months my blood sugar has been suddenly dropping which causes hypoglycemic grand mal seizures. All In all, the implant does help stop some of them. I'm down to only having several a month instead of several a week or day. I hope this information helps you.
@@angelaisaclicheMy friend's son is on epilim 2000mg a day. He sleeps day and night they wake him to eat. It's so sad. Epilepsy is right up there with the worst illnesses.
@@SouthernAngel843 interesting. I'll have to watch your video! It's so incredible what they can do these days. That's wild that your voice changes :o I asked about personality changes because I knew someone who got DBS for Parkinson's and it totally changed his disposition. I was wondering if similar things happened (even though they're quite different, of course). It all sounds like such a pain in the neck. I know I sometimes feel angry at my brain for not doing what it's supposed to. It's the myoclonic jerks that are my main gripe right now. Are you going to have to take something for the blood sugar? Have the doctors figured out why that's happening? I'm sorry you've got such a rough go of it. Not like a "ooh poor you" sorry, I hate that patronising pitying garbage, but like the sorry you say when someone dies. Like an "I acknowledge that this sucks" sorry.
This is one of the best medical emergency shows ever! I never miss an episode & enjoy every minute! The patients are real, & the doctors are amazing at what they do. Well done to all & cheers 😊💕🥰❤️
So glad Tony was fine. Lucy what a beautiful child, pray her seizures get under control. She has a wonderful family to keep her well. I’d say poor Charlie but it’s sounds to Charlie and the chocolate Factory! Glad him and dad can talk together with out fights
When my Son was 12, he contracted Group A Strep Invasive in his brain. He underwent an emergency craniotomy and 6 weeks IV antibiotics. Surgery was around 10 hours and those were the longest hours of my life. Now at 34, he’s a Pilot for Delta.
Im sure Lucy understands she is not the only one. Maybe her doctor or someone might know of a play group of kids with epilepsy. My husband has it. A lifetime of medication but he gets enough sense if he needs to increase the amount. And learning triggers. Many video games, amusement park rides. Anything with strobe lights. Good luck to you.
Unfortunately there are lots of people out there who have seizures. It’s more normal than one would think. There’s some content creators out there that make lots of videos about their lives and experiences. Lucy’s parents should help her find some of them. So she can see she’s not alone.
People can have epilepsy and not talk about it. I am a Brit who started having grand mal seizures at 17 after a severe ear infection. Took about 3 years to manage the episodes. Live in the US now and only recently told friends that I had this xx, after 30 years of friendship
@@613miami My daughter had febrile seizures starting at 18 months. They wanted to start her on a very strong anti seizure medication, I said no, her ear infections were the cause. Ear tubes were placed and she never had another seizure again. Her last one was when she was 8 yrs old.
I have had some scary seizures before. One time while driving - luckily my dad was in the passenger seat bc he was as able to take control of my car. But him and my mom have had to see me in some scary situations. 😢😢 Last February- I was brushing my teeth and fell backwards and slammed into my shower glass doors and was seizing ON THE GLASS. Luckily I didn’t get cut really but my back was like black from slamming so hard into the tub part of the shower. Seizures suck. My friends and family are always so terrified to see me like that when I come too I can see. Their faces and I hate that they even have to see me like that
They can't say 'assaulted' under British law until the accused has gone to court and the situation has been dealt with otherwise the person can get off and they can also sue the TV people. The person must be found guilty of this before that statement can be made.
Parents should of gotten the doctor when her daughter started to shake from seizure, they could of tested (ct or mri scan )her see where it's coming from on brain
I’m sure they did that testing as she was admitted. Sometimes things happen in the body that don’t have explanations. I’m sure the drs saw her seizures seeing as though they were recorded for this tv show. It was not her 1st time in hospital for her seizures either.
Lucy, looloo....let me say this, you beautiful little girl...this is a secret between you and me...Don't strive to be normal, you be you and as crazy as you like...I am just like you, I am not normal either, BUT I don't want to be normal bc normal is boring...I hope you get better and remember that you have a friend here in the States who is NOT normal...love to you angels...❤❤❤
My husband is 75 and there is no way on God's green earth that anyone can tell him he can not do something like hanging blinds. I'm sure he chose for himself if he would do it.
