Me and seizing
by: Allie on Mon, Dec 15 2008

Ive had epilepsy since I was 24. (7 years) I have grand-mal seizures so I do things like fall, drool on myself, and lose consciousness. When I seize it affects all of my body.

Ive been seizure-free for a year in January, though Im not sure of the date :P Consequences of a coma.

One of my seizure triggers in photosensitive, like camera flashes So ive had to exclude myself from family events because they cant figure out how to take pictures without a flash. I think if i was a little kid I would be treated differently. :(

Funny thing is people wouldn’t know I had epilepsy unless I tell them. I have no scars–so far–from the seizures. Just emotional one, which is worse in a way.

But i survive. :)
