Hi there..i'm a fnd since july 2009 and my life has totally changed and i too watch tv each day to calm my body down and not stimulate new symptoms..i have friends on another fnd site that recommend magnesium to help your muscles due to the spasms...this is a reckless disease with no respect to our human goals and desires. I too had professional endeavors respected in my field, drove my car and many friends..my first 2 years of the disease was full exhaustion and sleeping..my brain just could not do anymore and i needed to rest..here in year 3 i have more days of joy and just activity in my own home. when the seizures come at full blast they can last for hours and for several days...Afterward i am exhaused and need up to 2 days to rest and overcome the physical tiredness. Also i then become fearful because my body is doing something i don't understand and there are no explanations. The days are long and lonely as we have cut my interactions with people because they are triggers that start a new set of symptoms...There is a lot of support on a FB page called Just me and we have a very active dialogue for support and understanding...there is hope..you are not alone.. we have a rare disease...that baffles doctors and researchers....we will be able to do more as we learn more about our individual situations and learn to adjust our lives....so grateful to find one more person who is battling this disease daily....today i can think clearly and read a lovely book...hope and joy to you bev
