I’m taking part in Walk for Epilepsy around Australia because...

I am the 1 in 25.
I lived with epilepsy for two years before I was diagnosed. Before that, teachers thought I was daydreaming or lazy when I had a seizure in class. We now know I have absence and partial focal seizures. I also experience auras with both, including headaches and migraines. 

My first memory of a seizure was when I was diagnosed aged 11 and had my first partial focal seizure at the dinner table. All I remember was eating half of my food and then lying in a hospital bed. I had pursed my lips, and my face was going blue, and my mum recognised I was having a seizure. 

Epilepsy has impacted me throughout my life. I’m blessed & lucky enough to drive and have my license, however, I had to wait until I was three years seizure-free and got my licence at 19. It has also affected me in jobs & job interviews, being discriminated against because of my Epilepsy.

With Epilepsy there is always that pain, fear & anxiety of losing control at any time. You could be one year seizure-free, and it happens. There is always the unknown fear of losing control. Everyone has control over their bodies. We don’t. 

My advice to other people with epilepsy is to stay strong. We’re different, and that makes us special. Don’t let other people judge you or break you down.💜
