Anyone feel like God has a personal vendetta against you? I do. I noticed it about 2 years ago when I fell off a repel wall and broke my ribs (marine corps). Then a rib punctured a stomach and it all was over. Months of rehab and intense dieting finally put me back in the military and into my normal life. Then Aug 08 the seizures started. I'd be on a daily run when bam hit the floor and wake up with my legs twiching and no memory of what happened. Little did they know it was going to get worse. Late September someone finally got the idea to test me for allergies and came up with celiac disease. By the time they caught it it was too late. Oct 26, 2008 I woke up from a seizure blind. Never came back. Apparently I suffer from a rare abnormal seizure disorder where my naturally low blood pressure added to the seizure produces hypertension symptoms and produces basically a mini stroke. In two weeks I will be 21 and I've had over 10 mini strokes. Luckily the smaller seizures do not appear to produce the same affect but it is still scary to think about cross-contamination and what it can do to me.
It has been almost a year now and my stomach is finally starting to heal, the seizures are stable, and I have finished training for using a cane to walk around. A small part of me is proud that through all of this I never stopped my life and gave up but a small part of me is wondering whats next. Its been two months of little things but no trips to the hospital only checkups and routine colds. For two years this is the longest I 've been out of the hospital. Here is keeping my fingers crossed nothing else is coming. I dont think I can take much more.
