I had my first seizure i the summer before HS 2004. Since then I've lived in a form of denial that allowed me to do things people with e dont usually do (HS & collegiate sports, driving, nightlife, etc)
Since having a breakthrough seizure 3 months ago, my symptoms have gotten worse and I've had two grand mal seizures lasting more than 10 minutes in the last two months. It's knocked me off track emotionally, professionally & socially and I think it's time I get help.
Now the question is...how? My neurologist has looked to numb me w/ drugs and I've recently discovered a family history of bipolar disorder and stroke, neither of which bode well with epileptic drugs. I'm interested in trying anything other than drug treatment and could use help finding access to programs in my area of west Florida.
Thanks and you guys inspired me that this isn't the end, but the beginning!
