I had my first seizure as a baby and it was decided that it was probably pneumonic. When I was 7 years old I was actually diagnosed with generalized epilepsy.
As a young child and through out my teenage years, I had an irrational fear of taking pills or medicine! So of course my seizures got worse and worse and my family was scared and worried as I got older. When I knew I had an appointment I made my self take my meds so the doc wouldn’t raise it. I realize now that I have matured that I feared the meds more than the seizures and sadly cared more about that than my loved ones emotions and the pain I have put them through.
Because of my fear I am aware now that I did not know the psychological side of it but now I feel like it has effected me where I still haven’t grasped the reality it. I have lost many loved ones that I wish I could say sorry but I do have many supporters.
If epilepsy was cured, it would mean millions the world’s population would be able to contribute to society or worldly problems. Not only do I believe a cure will bring freedom, peace, prosperity in ourselves, but all throughout the world – even to help other cures for diseases.
