Who Had Meningitis As A Baby, Which Lead To Diagnose Epilespy?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

As a baby i was diagnose with meningitis, they told my mum i was going to died within 2 hours. I fought for my mum, later on in my life i then got diagnose with epilespy. All my life so far, i have fought to be alive but i dont know if i can stay stronger any longer. Its getting tiring.....

I didn't have meningitis, but I did have encephalitis when I was younger. I had German measles 2 times and caused the encephalitis. I have always had what I was told was panic or anxiety attacks, but now I am being assessed for seizure disorders, as they have come on and I ended up going to ER for the last one. I think we all understand. I think this is something that people don't really understand, or they don't believe what you are going through. I am certainly a lot older than you, and I also question myself, then start doubting myself. It seems there is a lot of depression and not being sure of yourself. But hang in there. Stick with this group and they will guide you along and help you through this. You are alive, and you have fought hard for it. Don't let go now. Hang on to the epilepsy team. You can talk to any one of us.

My seizure activity acts like anxiety attacks. But it is seizures. My Neurologist was at USC. I sure miss her!
