I just found out less than a week ago that I am epileptic. I know nothing about it I have my first seizure about two months ago. Me and my daughter were out brush hogging on the tractor and I went down. The most thing I remember from it is waking up and feeling completely awful. Like I’ve been sick before but nothing like this. I’m 35 years old I don’t know anything about this I want to say issues because it’s controllable but this roadblock for the current moment. I’m frustrated because I went from being a very independent person, to my keys are taken away so to speak. I have to work appointments around my husband schedule. My 16-year-old we had to get him his license because I can no longer drive I feel like an invalid and my head has not stop splitting. My parents are in complete denial and told me that my doctors wrong I don’t understand that so obviously I won’t be getting my support there. I don’t have any information and could use any info that anybody could give me I am on Twitter. I have got to send out snaps to my daughter she’s 15 she handled the situation like a champ. I couldn’t have asked for a better help help. I know she was scared to death. I was just Imbarissed because I lost my bowls.

I don’t think I have the same

I don’t think I have the same kinds of seizures that you do but I do understand how frustrating and embarrassing it is. I’ve been having seizures for six months before I was diagnosed, I was hitch hiking to work because I couldn’t drive and eventually quit my job because I was having a hard time picking up my kids from school. Sometimes I’m just plain embarrassed to be in public. I have two little kids and they do their best to help, but I feel so bad for them. I had to leave my land, my farm, my house... give away my goats and donkey. I am grateful that I have a loving supportive boyfriend but I was not expecting to still be struggling with managing my seizures( I have them almost everyday) all the meds make me feel miserable and I need to work, I’ve worked my whole life!
