I began having seizures in adolescence & was put on meds. Even though it did not stop them from occurring I refused to let this keep me from living a normal life. I believed I was going to get well someday. Now it has been 36 years that I have lived with epilepsy & all the hardships it comes with. All I can say is my life has been everything but normal. But even so I managed to raise a family & work once in a while. Life became more complicated when my license was revoked cuz of epilepsy. I lost work & friends. Loneliness! Found work & lost it cuz of epilepsy. I feel like a burden on family.
