Seizure Salad (~Fustercluck Epilepticus~)
A salty, sometimes irreverent account of Micah‘s surprise diagnosis with epilepsy; how it would short-circuit his world, plus the efforts to re-wire his mind (...Brain surgery?!?...) so as to build a new life. ”Seizure Boy” courtesy of Watsky and used with permission.

~ Jesse & I sit down to talk about his lifelong misdiagnosis of a chronic condition, his podcast & other creative endeavors, and of course a bit of off-topic banter! Enjoy! ~
Jesse Mercury is the host & producer of the podcast, Major Pain, as well as a prolific content creator & musician. Jesse’s content library can be found on Bandcamp, YouTube, TikTok, and his website www.jessemercury.com."

"The Major Pain podcast is a collection of interviews from people living with chronic illness and disability. Our goal is to spread awareness, empathy and community around experiences often lived through in isolation. We also occasionally hear from healthcare professionals, pain researchers and caregivers, giving us a well-rounded view of what’s happening in our healthcare system for the chronically ill. Through sharing these stories important themes have become increasingly apparent, including the dangers of medical gaslighting, the importance of self-advocacy and the fact that none of us are in this alone. You can share your thoughts, your story, or inquire about appearing on the show at majorpainpodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome Mitch Lo to the Family Fustercluck
Friday Jan 27, 2023
Friday Jan 27, 2023
I have the pleasure of introducing Mitch Lo; military vet, firefighter & EMT, and fellow epileptic. Mitch has a healthy attitude toward his condition, and some really intense experiences from being a first responder at Ground Zero during 9/11.
Mitch & I touch on the mental & psychological aspects, as well as medical roadblocks in our treatments. And, of course, random tangents here and there.
Enjoy!
