LIVE

Epilepsy is hard. Some of you maybe newly diagnosed, others might be long term Epilepsy Warriors. Either way, Epilepsy sucks. It comes with dark days and bright days. And some days, the ones plagued with seizures and side effects and comorbidities, it probably seems like it will never get better.

But I was diagnosed with drug resistant Epilepsy at 4 ½. I’ve had regular seizures for nearly 25 years, and every day I deal with the migraines, processing issues, memory loss and stigma that comes with it. But I have also earned a Bachelor’s degree, a minor degree, a brown belt in Japanese JiuJitsu, and I’ve traveled by myself multiple times as well as living myself.

Nothing is impossible. You can accomplish anything. It might be harder, and it might take some out of the box thinking, but it can be done. Just stay positive.
