Epilepsy: When you look in the mirror are you happy with who you see?

Epilepsy is like a roller coaster ride. It has many highs and lows. There were times when my epilepsy was doing so well that I didn’t feel like a person with epilepsy. I even forget that I had epilepsy. Believe or not. Each day, I lived life according to the limitations I set for myself and followed the diet and lifestyle I created which I knew helped my seizures stay under control. I actually felt normal.

Then eventually a seizure would creep on me and I was reminded that I wasn’t normal. I was a woman who lived life with a serious condition. A woman who had to remember to take her medicine every day. A person who had to live life with limitations and I had to create a lifestyle that wouldn’t cause me to overstress so I would have seizures.

Did I mention that I hate limitations? I’m the type of person that likes to do things her way. A person who is independent and doesn’t like anyone to tell her what to do.

You know how frustrating it is when you know you are capable of accomplishing so much more but you can’t because you if you overdo it you will cause yourself to have a seizure.
