Living with Epilepsy/Seizures

I was recently diagnosed with Intractable Epilepsy as well as narcolepsy and they also found that I have a small brain aneurysm. I am 36 years old and life was going along just fine until this past march, when I fainted at work and had to be rushed to the hospital. What I thought was low blood sugar (I am also diabetic) turned out to have been a seizure. I have since then experienced 3 less severe seizures not losing contiousness, but accompanied by thunderclap migraines dizziness and usually will knock me out (sleep wise for up to 12 to 16 hours)!!

I have most recently been experiencing smaller “aura eposodic” seizures, where I seem to lose my train of thought for mere seconds, coming to and not remembering where I am or what I was doing. It’s very scarey, for my whole family, especially my kids…all very new to us and we struggle daily to accept it. I am always looking on line to learn all I can about it. My doctor recently wrote me off of work permenately and I have filed for Disability.

Seems so weird, like I am just dreaming all this and will wake up and find out it’s not all as it seems. I keep my faith in God and no that He will see us through this and that He will not abandon me.

God Bless~
