I've never thought about it. It's the life God gave me & It's been my life since I was 5yo, so I've known nothing else. I never cared to know what was the cause as I must deal with it no matter what.

Epilepsy has been a part of me since age 5. I still have friends from elementary school and though out my life they have all accepted my seizures. Unfortunately I have family members who weren’t that understanding. It has made me the strong minded person I am today. I am empathetic I know the feeling of being in and out of the hospital almost my whole life, I couldn’t drive, I know not to take things for granted that’s why I like to say “I got out of bed and it wasn’t a hospital bed so it’s a good day.

I have epilepsy, so what? I live my life and enjoy it how I want to - nobody has the right to judge me.

I have accepted it

I have accepted epilepsy over the years. I stay aware of it and know my limits but I don't dwell on it. I do pretty much whatever I want.
