I’ve lived with sensory epilepsy for 10 years, where certain smells trigger debilitating seizures. Everyday activities become landmines, and the constant fear of an attack has stolen my confidence. I’ve missed out on job opportunities, marriage and experiences just to name a few which has really made me feel isolated. Despite no electrical activity showing on my EEG, my seizures persist. A cure would be life changing. It would mean freedom from the constant fear of seizures, allowing me to pursue my dreams without restraint. I could continue school without anxiety, build meaningful relationships, and live a life filled with purpose and joy. A cure would give me back control, allowing me to embrace life’s moments without the shadow of seizures holding me back.
