Did it take a while to sink in that you/someone you love has epilepsy? Like to even refer to it as epilepsy feels weird.
We were bounced around so much in a short time, and heard a lot of "Nope, she is lying" a lot. Now my daughter has been on the 3 pills daily for a month, and is symptom free, short of the one time when we missed a dose a couple days in a row and she saw sparkles again. Once we started back up, they stopped, and she has had nothing.
I know it isn't a coincidence. The medicine is working, and it is working because these were obviously seizures. It is now starting to sink in, and it sucks. But it still feels weird. I think maybe since her seizures weren't visible to anyone else, if that makes it a little harder to feel real. Plus, it was a relatively short time before she dropped the bomb shell of these things she experiences(which she thought were all typical things) and diagnosis. It felt like forever, but it was only a few months.
