    As soon as Robin mentioned the symptoms of "Aunt Cookies" I knew straight away it was seizures. I've had them all my life, and to this day I still can't explain the feeling. Closest I can get is it's like you're not real, like nothing's real, I go a little dizzy, and get a stab of fear, then everything goes back to normal within about 10-15 seconds. I remember them clearly, but I'm usually tired afterwards. They're now called Focal Onset Aware seizures, but used to be called simple partial seizures.

    I did my community service (formerly the alternative to military service in Germany) for nine months in the care of handicapped people and there was a child there who also got a disgusting taste in her mouth before every epileptic seizure. As soon as she mentioned the symptom, one of the curative care workers or I could run to get medicine (suppositories) as quickly as possible. Within 5-10 minutes an epileptic seizure always occurred. The seizures were mostly very short, but she also got two Grand Mal attacks during my community service which was really shocking for me because I had never seen anything like it before. I knew immediately that the third lady had epilepsy. It is a great pity that only in the last 30 years real progress in recognition has been made.

    My sister was diagnosed with Ceoliac disease when she was just 3 yrs old. Her daughter's eldest son also has the disease But i have since found out just how prelevant the disease is in my extended family. I have cousins who have it, and some of their grandchildren also have it. So yes, this disease is definately genetic. It is certainly not rare. I remember growing up in a household without cakes etc because of it, although now there is a much bigger variety of things like cake etc for people with the disease, which means they dont miss out on treats now.

    I hate how people don't take mental heath seriously. When doctors suggest it could be psychological everyone gets so defensive - they don't think you're crazy they think it's somthing a psychologist might be able to help with because the brain is complex and can't always be solved with medication.

      Especially when the doc suggested visiting a neurologist.
      A neurologist looks into the physical part of the brain. The tissues, the hormones, and also other parts of the nervous system.
      When psychology is the software, neurology is the hardware.

    Just the fact that Americans consider celiac disease "a rare disease" should tell everyone from the rest of the world how health issues are taken and treated there... Celiac disease is, in fact, one of the most common illnesses in the world, why do you guys think so many foods are labeled as "gluten free"? I'm not a celiac myself, but I know a lot of people with this illness... Just like those with lactose intolerance/allergy. 😅😅😅😅😅

      Even more ironic when it was an american physician who wrote in 1908 about it, and american paediatricians in the 1920s that noticed that sick children that eat bananas instead of bread get better.
      The dutch connected it to wheat in the 1940s, the brits did the step to gluten in the 1950s
