I am a work at home mom and a mother of two. I have created this blog to discuss my journey with Epilepsy. I'm hoping that it can bring awareness as well as educate others about this neurological disorder. And maybe let someone else living with Epilepsy know that they are not alone.

Happy 1 year of being seizure free!
It's been a little over a year since I've had a seizure, which makes any epileptic nervous. You begin asking yourself what you've been doing that has maybe made a difference in you not having an episode. What can I do to continue to not have an episode? Or even worse, you become terrified and paranoid that the next seize is just around the corner. Your life is back to normal. You can drive. You can drive your kids. Your husband can worry a little less. You're still terrified, but hey, you can leave the house. We spend every second paranoid that it only takes about a minute for all of that to start over. Almost like an addict starting over on day 1. Anyone reading this would probably think I was an unappreciative bitch that could never see a glass half full. But to anyone with epilepsy, this IS appreciation. This is OUR normal. This is our life. And we are LIVING with epilepsy. Happy 1 year anniversary to me! :)

Hi Tristina,
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you. Healthline just published an infographic detailing the effects of epilepsy on the body. This is an interactive chart allowing the reader to pick the side effect they want to learn more about.
You can see the overview of the report here: http://www.healthline.com/health/epilepsy/effects-on-body
Our users have found our guide very useful and I thought it would be a great resource for your page: http://epilepsyandme.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-1-year-of-being-seizure-free.html
I would appreciate it if you could review our request and consider adding this visual representation of the effects of epilepsy to your site or sharing it on your social media feeds.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
