A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am feeling so hurt and realising reality today.

Anyone Have A Hard Time Talking?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ever since I had my first and only grand mal seizure last January, I've had a really hard time talking. With almost every conversation I have I will mess up words that use to be no problem for me. It almost feels like as if my mouth is deformed. At first I thought it was because I talk to fast but when I slow myself down in a conversation then it'll trigger a absence seizure and I won't be able to talk at all.
