epilepsy:
there is many forms of epilepsy . you can have many seizures a day or have none and just shake . this was my experience of epilepsy .
i have got it from my perviuos name but taken out the dictonary bit as
it caused issues last time
I am writing about epilepsy as I had it as a child. when I was in grade six it was the day b4 camp and I was on the computer next to a boy at school and I grabbed the computer screen now I can remember this far just grabbing out for my computer screen and his and I was petrified and the class was laughing at me next minute I remember being on the floor waking up but very tiered. I was taken to sick bay where they called my mum to pick me up and from there I was taken to a specialist who they diagnosed me with epilepsy. I could not play station or the computer or go night clubbing when I was 18 as the lights could set me off... i had to miss grade 6 camp but oh well . When I got to high school it was hard as I could not use a computer I hate to hand write all my assignments which was hard. I got picked on allot... when i meet my best friend she took me for who i am. To be honest if you looked at me or anyone you would not know that we had epilepsy. I have out grown it now but I still have to be careful driving computer and sleep I have to have a certain amount of sleep or it can trigger it off again... i may not be bright but i aint dumb no one is dumb . Some people are just brighter than others but as long as we try.
I was on tegrotol not sure of the spelling I don’t have any medications for epilepsy anymore
If you have a son or daughter with it or yourself or hubby it’s not the end of the world
I have lost friends over it and me writing this I may lose some more but I am me and I can’t change anything about it. Take me for who I am not what I did have. None should be judged for who they are some didn’t choose to be that way
