Seizures - Blog Posts
I had this idea about f!reader x Denki Kaminari where Denki sometimes gets seizures from the side effects from his quirk and you are always there to comfort him while he seizes.
TW: seizures.

Quirk side effects <3
You have been dating Denki kaminari since middle school, you always had been aware of his quirk side effects, seizures, It took you a while to understand what Denki goes through, it took you a while to not panic and stay calm whenever you saw Denki seize. But you got the hang of it, when you both got into UA you both were ecstatic for each other, excited to see each other in school, you were even more excited when you heard you both were in the same class, which ment you’d be in the same dorm complex, which means you can help him incase of an emergency.
You both were lying down on Denki’s bed watching ‘legally blonde’ which was his favourite movie, you think he has pretty much memorised every word, you got bored after a while of watching it so you curled up into Denki and you put your head on top of his chest. Suddenly you could hear his heart beat increase, you look up at him “babe?.. you alright? Are you gonna have a seizure?” You say softly with a bit of concern, “I- yeah..I’m about to have one… please don’t let me get hurt..” he says in a tone that breaks your heart, you hate it when he seizes out. “It’s alright I’m here, I won’t let you get hurt…” you reply, slowly taking off the choker around his neck so it isn’t a hazard for him, you hold his hand, and you put another pillow under his head incase he chokes on his tongue, then you go onto your phone and open up Mr. Aizawas emergency number just incase anything goes wrong.
After what feels like the longest 2 minutes later, he finally stops seizing. A few tears was on his cheeks which made my heart ache for him. “Thank you..” he mumbles into your neck while he hugs you, “I told you, I’d never let you get hurt.” You told him while hugging him, “are you okay kami? Do you need anything? I can get you water or something..” you get up out of bed to retrieve something for him, “yeah… a water would be good, also can you please turn off the TV, and turn off the lights? It’s giving me a headache.” He said with a small groan. “Yeah, I’ll go get you your water.” You say while grabbing the remote to turn off the TV. While you were walking over to the light switch you hear his sweet voice go “oh and y/n…”
“Yes kami?.”
“I love you so much.”

AGHHH!!! I feel like Denki would just be so sweet to you!! I need him so bad I wish he wasn’t fiction 😞😭
EMT: Do you know what causes your seizures
Me: *Struggling to find a way to explain psychogenic non epileptic seizures while my brain is fried and the world is spinning*
Me:
Me: Bullshit.
Steve, has a seizure and passes out
Steve, wakes up in the hospital
Steve, immediately clocking the worry on Eddie’s face and unable to look away
Steve, forcing a smile: “sorry for being so dramatic. I was just bored and wanted out of the house.”
Eddie, making a choked sound
Eddie, glancing at Dustin who has very red eyes
Eddie: “you know you could have just asked me to take you on a drive.”
Steve, snorting: “we do that all the time. I wanted something different. This car made a cool noise.”
Dustin: “Seriously, Steve?”
Steve, pouting: “I just wanted to go in the wee-woo wagon.”
Double it and give it to the next person bro way too scared to confront a medical problem because what if I'm faking 💔
I am tired. but we will persevere
Wife and I are at the ER. She’s been having what her neurologist (our neurologist? We see the same guy) think are seizures. She’s been having small tremors off and on since February. We think it was caused by Paxil, which she rapid detoxed from under medical care a few months ago.
Today the whole body tremors/shaking are constant. With all her medical issues, I try to stay positive and strong. We do it for each other.
Hubby is at home getting cleaning done for the plumbing. It’s just another day in our life. It’s weird.
PNES are PNES. It's a psychological, conversion, functional, dissociative seizure. Of course it's non-epileptic. But. Often missing the word of the seizure being functional can harm those who have non-epileptic, but NOT psychological seizures.
Non-epileptic ≠ Functional.
Get over it.
Non-epileptic seizure doesn't mean that the seizure is due to FND or PNES! There are much more conditions than epilepsy and PNES. Stop seeing only white and black, when there exists a gray side.
Not all seizures are epileptic, and not all non-epileptic seizures are PNES. Hope this helps!
Years will pass and I will never understand, why, just why, there's only 2 sides when it comes to my illness? Some of you immediately start to pity and pamper me, treat me as if I barely understand something, while the other consists of people who are almost the same as the 1st type, but these are trying to do it differently, trying to look caring and understandable, but in the end they are almost the same. And also, since when the phrase "I'm not letting my illness stop me." Became something ablestic? No, I don't want to treat myself as a snowflake. I don't want to do something less, because YOU think that I'll have a flare up. Flare ups are only MY and MINE DEAL, NOT YOURS. I don't want to sit and whine about how fragile my body is. This only makes me look WEAK. Since when I need to work less, just because I'm ill? Maybe I WANT to work?? Maybe I CAN work?? Maybe, it is YOU the one who sees only code in my med card?!
Am I disabled if I have to be homeschooled because of my chronic illness? Asking out of curiosity.
No. My epilepsy is NOT a disability. Why though? Because it doesn't prevent me from doing ANYTHING. It doesn't affect me all the time. Yeah, someone could say "B-but seizures are a disability!!!" Yeah, they could be. But, have you read the criteria to get disability with epilepsy? No? Okay, I'll list.
– Frequency of seizures. If they are too intense and happening too often (for example a few times per day.)
– Decrease in intelligence.
– Mental issues.
– Impaired ability to move.
– Developmental disorders.
So, that's why epilepsy doesn't make you automatically disabled, it just makes you ill. So, I prefer to use the term "sick, but able-bodied." Instead of disabled. Y'all should accept that disability is a status given by law. So, if you're getting money for your disability, and you have this status in your documents – you're disabled. Or at least if your disease is affecting you most of the time like POTS, fibromyalgia, arthritis etc. you're disabled.
But even if chronically ill means being disabled... I still prefer to be called able-bodied. I'm not disabled. So I don't deserve to be called disabled. Leave space for someone else, not me.
I'm waiting to be hated for my opinion. I don't mind anymore. I don't want to call myself disabled and bury myself in my illness. If I'd be hated for that, but I'd still be able bodied, I don't mind. You can call me like you want, and call yourself a disabled if you have epilepsy, because I'm talking about MY CASE not YOURS.
Thanks for reading. Stay healthy.
To be honest, I feel kinda remorseful for making posts with hashtags like "disabled" and others. Why? Because thinking about my diseases constantly only worsens my mental health. I literally was about to go back to cutting or mutilating my body. Plus, I don't really think that I'm like... Disabled? Like my symptoms aren't enough to be called disabled or something... So, I think that I won't be making posts like this anymore... Or do them rarely. Hope y'all will understand. Thanks for being with me in those times. Take care of yourself.
And yet again nobody cares about my hobbies or how I feel. I'm just an ICD code. Right. Just forgot.
Invisible disability is still a disability. Even if you don't see it.
WHY CAN'T I FUCKING CUT MYSELF?? WHY CAN'T I SLICE MY SKIN AGAIN LIKE I USED TO?! I'M GETTING FUCKING TIRED OF THESE DISABILITIES, SEIZURES AND OTHER SHIT. I JUST WANNA BE HEALTHY OR ALLOWED TO MUTILATE MY BODY. I WANT TO HAVE THE CONTROL I LOST.
!!READ IF YOU'RE STUDYING JAPANESE AND HAVE EPILEPSY!!
There's an app called "Memory hint", and please, don't download it if you have photosensitive epilepsy or at least consult with a professional, because there's "Kanji catch" mode that could POSSIBLY trigger a seizure, at least if you won't lower speed. I almost had a seizure because of it.
Please, be careful with apps and videos you're watching, because sometimes there's no TW!
People's honest reaction when there are MUCH more physical diseases than infections ones or breaking your limb
"Diagnosis isn't an excuse!!" Then what is an excuse for my uncontrollable movements, huh?
It's always "we will represent disabilities!" Until it comes to dystonia/atethosis/chorea/etc. Until they see a REAL seizure, not when a person just shakes on the ground. Until when they see how a person can't get up to go to the toilet due to fatigue. Until they see how a person suffers from pain all over their body, although they ate BUNCH of pain killers. Until disability ISN'T aesthetically lay in bed and sit on the internet. Until they see how a person can't go out on the street without someone who could help them, so they are forced to bed rotting all the time. Just please, if you speak about disabilities, talk about REAL disabilities, not "aesthetically" laying in the bed while everyone is pampering you.
How to explain to people that there's NO NEED in restraining a person when they have a seizure, like bro, just put them on their side and count time, and if the seizure doesn't end or lasts more, call the ambulance. NOT RESTRAIN a person, because either you either them will end up with a trauma.
Having a serious disease is just like:
"Oh, that's just an illness and I don't need to feel guilty because of it, because I can't control it"
And then:
"FUCK, HOW MUCH I HATE MYSELF, I CAN'T DO BASIC THINGS, I'M ALWAYS ISOLATED, MY DISEASE JUST BECAME A MEME, WHY DO I HAVE IT??? JUST WHY?? IS THAT I DESERVE??? WHY I SHOULD I LOVE MYSELF WHILE EVERY FUCKING SECOND I'M WASTING AWAY??!"
why does nobody represent physical illnesses?? I mean... Most people don't know what cerebral paralysis, epilepsy, etc are, and in the end laughing at it, or saying stupid and disrespectful things about it. I think we should spread awareness about physical illnesses, because they're hard to deal with alone, and also could lead to a mental illness. Please, someone, spread awareness about physical health...
I see a lot of posts about how shitty it is to film disabled people in public and to make jokes when someone is having a medical emergency, and while in general I absolutely agree, there is a degree of nuance.
I have seizures, (most likely psychogenic/nonepileptic, I'm still going to be working with a neurologist to confirm my brain is intact though) and sometimes my friend @corypaws films them so that I can show my doctor. They have expressed guilt about doing this, but here's the thing: not only did I consent to this, it was my idea.
I had a seizure yesterday, and another friend, @thosegoodbois , made a joke about Caesar salad during it. They also felt guilty about this, but it was still incredibly helpful for me. On certain rare occasions, I'm fully conscious and aware for seizures. This was one of those times, so I heard everything. The people around me staying calm helped me stay calm too.
If a disabled person outright asks you to film them, you should really consider doing it. If a disabled person asks you to stay calm during a medical situation, you should at least try. Videos can be a very helpful diagnostic tool, and help make sure we are believed by doctors*. Freaking out when we have a medical problem might cause us to freak out too.
So basically I agree that in general filming disabled people and making jokes during medical emergencies is bad, but it's fine if you have consent.
Remember: disabled people are not a hive mind. At the end of the day, it should come down to what the individual wants.
*you probably shouldn't post it online though
