What have you lost or found because of epilepsy? - Epilepsy Action

[@stevie-jaynenorton8697]

My biggest goal for a decade has been getting my licence back. Almost made it to 11 months seizure free and three days ago I had a seizure. 11 months were wasted because of 5 minutes

[@markhyland1398]

It is the worst feeling in the world. Had my license for 5 months and all of a sudden started having seizures.. i was 8 months seizure free. Then boom… annoying!!

It’s so difficult for me to accept that I have epilepsy. Even writing the word or saying it I hate. But the feeling that I will always have to fight this alone alters my brain

[@davidgallegos4187]

Interesting reading & listening to others for me Listening to different types of music helps me through all the emotions that come along with this and the fact that I'm still here fighting through all the BS that comes with it shows that I can be independent, stronger, and not have it define me

I am 15 and I have never tried to figure out why, but in school I used to freeze and have a seizure, sometimes I would fall in the middle of the hallway and people would stare because I wouldn't be able to move for a couple seconds. Mine are stress induced and I'm scared anywhere I go that it's going to happen and that someone will freak out and draw all attention to me or something. I definitely relate to some of these peoples' stories.

(For the record: I struggle with word choice, so i am deeply sorry if I come across as dismissive, disrespectful or offensive in anyway. 💜) Who told you that your seizures are stress induced? Basically, was it your doctor, family member, or Google. If it was your doctor, talk to him about benzodiazepines. If it was a family member, tell them to take you to an appt, so you can talk to your doctor about Benzodiazepines. If it was Google, walk to your doctor's appt as a self-punishment for not verifying what Google said with your doctor before a decision was made (lol)

Definitely 100% lost.

[@stevie-jaynenorton8697]

I feel your pain. I've lost everything to seizures, managed to gain some things back and then lost it all again. Never done anything to deserve this.

Epilepsy.

[@edwardjoy918]

Hi Epilepsy is divided into two types and this is compatible with it The first type that appears in the tests with problems in the brain, I do not know if there is a treatment or not. As for the second type that does not show anything with the tests, this has a very simple treatment and treatment.

Had my first fit when I was 10, diagnosed when I was 11, 5 years later all my friends are meeting up and I can't because mine don't have any visual triggers so it can happen with everything I have had to be hospitalised before which is scary but I feel like it helped my career too, I want to teach and the fact kids deal with this and parents don't alway know what they're dealing with all the time and as an experienced person I want to help

[@jakkyte5733]

The medication re: my epilepsy, has been the cause of my life in the wilderness . Too much too young (aged 8) with no review until 50 years later. Much too late ! So who do you sue for loss of life ?
