Hello to all!
Here I am back into the Epilepsy community.52 year old, female, teacher, mom of 3 For me, Epilepsy was a thing of the past: two (possibly 3) partial to generalized seizure when I was 20, which i had (foolishly) attributed to my rather unhealthy student lifestyle. Did not take the meds prescribed because of side effects.
Now at 52, on a beautiful morning, all relaxed, well rested, well fed, BOUM, tonic-clonic seizure with no warning whatsoever. Huge shock. Driver's licence immediately suspended, yikes, and still trying to get a neuro appointment, huge wait list here in Toronto Canada.
Well, I am thankful for these 32 healthy years but terrified about what is next and the unpredictability of this nasty disease. Trying to stay positive and optimistic!
Cheers and thanks for reading!
