How I became epilepsy

Thursday 28th Sep When I was 15 years old I had a 2 hour seizure, my mum didn’t know what to do cause she was freaking out so she drove me to the hospital and when we got to the hospital I could not get out of the car my hole body was locked into joint so 2 nurses and 2 security guards had to get me out and I didn’t know where I was, didn’t know who my family was and I couldn’t eat and the doctors first thought it was just a virus but than it came up with epilepsy. I kept going into hospital a lot none of the medications were not working on me so in 2014 in august I had to have a brain surgery when I was 16 and after that I was seizure free for 3-4 years and now I’m back epilepsy but thankfully that the  medications are working now, this year is my 3rd year seizure free so now I can try and get my license hopefully the neurologist will say yes.  Share
