Story
So I'm one of many people worldwide who suffer with epilepsy, Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain. When someone has epilepsy, it means they have a tendency to have epileptic seizures.
Anyone can have a one-off seizure, but this doesn’t always mean they have epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually only diagnosed if someone has had more than one seizure, and doctors think it is likely they could have more.
Epilepsy can start at any age and there are many different types. Some types of epilepsy last for a limited time and the person eventually stops having seizures. But for many people epilepsy is a life-long condition. There are many medications out there that help people who suffer with epilepsy however a lot of us such as myself become emune to these medications and have to keep trying trial medication to help reduce seizers,
My seizers along with many other people diagnosed come on without warning, according to neurologists my seizers are caused by hypertension of the brain which I can tell you can be very painful when suffering from a hypertension headache, I can have a seizer at any given time in any place, as I have done many of times, would you know how to help me? Could you see the signs? Would you walk away?
I'm here to raise money to help raise epilepsy awareness in my area and build a community that can help and support people like myself with epilepsy, with support groups, first aid training, medication awareness, neurological advice and so much more! Please donate to help people like myself get the support they need raise epilepsy awareness today!!
THANKYOU!! :) 💜
