I no all of us who have epilepsy we have had to stay strong through all of our seizures an ordeals and we will continue to stay strong and we will never give up because we need to share our stories to others who doesn't have epilepsy, so that they can understand what epilepsy really is and so they don't judge us. We will continue to battle this disorder and as long as we can support each other we will be ok. Take care. GOD BLESS!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member . I can’t hide my seizures, when they come from out of the blue when they want. It’s happened all my life and I learned to cope with the situation. Where ever I’m at I don’t let it bother me. Most of the time I have no clue that I even seizure. When I noticed the clues around me ( not always clues ) , like people Staring at me, surrounding me, fallen when last thing remembering I was standing, and other types of clues. If I don’t notice any clues , then I feel that I’m having a normal day, because I don’t have warnings when I’m gonna seizure.

It is great that you won’t let you seizures or Epilepsy define you. I just keep reminding myself that , I control my life not Epilepsy.

A MyEpile...

My husband and I have a business selling, renting and fixing wheelchairs. When I think about how those children or adults have it and they don’t complain I try to suck it up and carry on

What motivates me is my family, I will not let them see me defeated by some POS Epilepsy, I imagine myself saying to this Epilepsy creature (when I do regain consciousness from a Grand Mal), is that the best you got, I can take whatever you dish out, I'm stronger than you...and then be on my way, always remember we have Epilepsy, it doesn't have us.

My situation was a little different. After the first seizures I woke up three days later in the hospital. The third seizure I woke up forty five minutes later in the ambulance.

I am motivated to fight this illness because I want to go back to work and I still have goals I have to accomplish. I take my medication every day, try to eat healthy, drink as much fluids as I can, try hard not to let things or people cause me to stress, stay positive and pray most times multiple times a day for myself and other people on this website and in the world who have epilepsy.
