I was born with epilepsy
Thu, 09/01/2016 - 14:19I was born with epilepsy but wasn't diagnosed until 2012. I tried to hide it from my wife. She found me in the bathroom holding on the counter. My face was pale my eyes were dilated I couldn't walk I couldn't talk my speech was slured I couldn't move my arms. I'm alert every time and I remember everything. I don't feel like my neurologist even cares he put me on diamox and gabapentin.I can't drink Pepsi or be around open bottle of nail polish it sets them off and I no when it's coming because I feel it
