Blue Cross-Polarized Lenses

I’ve witnessed several different people with epileptic seizures

Not everybody with epilepsy has grand mal seizures. The ailment is almost as varied as the individuals afflicted by it. Some just "zone out" but don't lose consciousness - others may momentarily lose the ability to speak, or walk, or - you name it. It's a short-circuit in a very complex electrical environment.

The article suggests that there is something extraordinary about Hillary lying to the public, as if it’s never happened before.

I'd like to think she's fighting demonic possession*, but I don't think she is fighting it.

*That would give her some hope of redemption...

I agree but the blue lenses seem to be effective in seizures in general. The common speculation is that she is experiencing seizures related to Parkinsons. Whatever the cause and despite my issues with Hillary, I have great compassion for anyone who has to battle seizures.

Yup. I’ve seen petite mal and psychomotor seizures.

Not funny...deplorable taste

I was diagnosed in my 20’s as epileptic, likely due to head injuries. When I was in high school, I would often zone out while taking a test, particularly like achievement tests with long lines of similar appearance, which is how I felt just before a seizure. Apparently it was something I outgrew, I quit taking meds 20 years ago, I am 59, nothing since I was 23-24.

“Not everybody with epilepsy has grand mal seizures. “

I’m well aware. It is a subject I’ve studied.

“The common speculation is that she is experiencing seizures related to Parkinsons.”

I’ve never seen her have a seizure; I’ve never noticed a tremor. If others have, I’d like to hear about it. (and no, I don’t think that weird head bob thing that they keep showing on a loop is a seizure or Parkinson’s)

IIRC only 25% of people with epilepsy have grand mal seizures. There are many, many types of seizures. I have simple partial seizures which do not cause me to loose conscientiousness or even zone out. Mine are more sensory in nature.

I am allowed to drive but voluntarily give up driving temporally if I have long seizures or seizures that come in waves for a day or more. The long ones leave me confused temporarily and I often get a migraine.

I am confused enough after the seizures that I would not want to be in a position of making life and death decisions as a president might have to do.
