Hi! My name is Becca. Last year I was diagnosed with a partial seizure disorder (aka epilepsy) following a traffic accident that involved drunks, suspicious cops and very patient EMTs. I was 31 years old and I'd never knowingly experienced a seizure before. The diagnoses I received two months later shocked me to my core. It took my family six more months to accept that I had the condition. I wouldn't be able to drive again for nine months.
I am starting this blog to share with others what I have learned and how I am continuing to love my life as I live with this condition.
The brain damage my neurologist found is located in my left temporal lobe. In my future posts I will describe:
• How my miniscule brain damage manifests itself in seizures in my life
• My relationship with my neurologist(s)
• The medication(s) I have been on and continue to take
• My endeavor to find out more about my disorder by going off of my medication
• What I do to treat my epilepsy naturally
• My concerns with epilepsy, pregnancy and medication
• How I maintain a positive outlook
