Players With Chronic Illness

[Kat_Manx]

I am epileptic. Only was an issue once so far, I woke up somewhat on the floor and 3/4 members in my Haukke Manor NM party were doing /poke emotes at me. ._.; Ugh. LOL

I also have some yet to be diagnosed stomach issue that makes me have to go AFK at the weirdest times. Multiple times. TMI?

A little annoying. People think I am not raiding because I am lazy or don't want to and thus kinda stopped asking, which is good I guess because 90% of the time I wouldn't have the strength to finish a raid. Every now and then I just get this health boost where I whack through as much content as I can before I feel too sick again.

playing this particular game while being epileptic. either you have balls of steel (or the female equivalent), or a very good healthcare plan (magic dps LB? holy f)

and, please let that stomach issue checked out, I don't know you, it isn't of my concern, but let me tell you, do it.

I haven't had a seizure in a good 15+ years. That is around half my lifespan. So I am not really concerned about it. My medication pretty much covers the problem anyways. I am on a pretty heavy dose of the generic brand of Neurontin.

THESE kind of people, probably also are a reason why some players have issues making any kind of illness known to people in a game they barely know.

I have a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy with my disability. If people don't ask, they have no need to know. I will however usually tell my FC or Guild Leader that I have psychiatric issues, but unless he or she specifically asks what ones, I don't feel obligated to say.

Epileptic. Have had a couple bleed through seizures playing this game but they were minor tremors. Largely due to stressing out. Take zonigran every night.

I don't know, tests way back indicated it wasn't triggered by light. Mostly triggered by lack of sleep actually. Which admittedly, this game can cause. But no worries, I have equally many seizures regardless if I play or not. ^.^

Tummy is going to be checked out too, just the queue for my doctor is longer than the DPS queue ingame atm. x.x
