Battling Epilepsy

I know many people struggle with this condition and many people with this condition have it alot worse than I do. For example theirs the type that is untreatable or the people who have several seizures in one day making them seemingly handicapped. When I consider the fact that when my eplipsey is active that I only have my seizure about every six months I'm thankful for that. I've fought long and hard and for those of you still fighting I feel the need to tell you don't give up. I was plaqued with seizures for years and forced to take meds that never really suited me. Side effects were horrible. The dizziness and shaky hands and spinning from meds was horrible, but whenever I felt down I leaned on family, friends and most of all God. I know that sounds corny, but he did carry me through much of it. I've been seizure free now for about two years. You see I reached a breaking point and went in for testing. I went in to see if I was eliable for brain surgery. I couldn't take it anymore. The waiting to have another one and when I did which kind would I have? Trust me I've had every kind imanginable.   Unfortunaltely I wasn't eligable, but because of the testing they found a medication mixture that works and that has no side effects. I'm very happy now. Although I must admit I'm on a temporary driving hiatus because I had a few warning signs. So until we are sure nothing happens I'm staying off the road.
