Don't give up
I was 13 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy I was having petit mal seizures (absence seizures) once per day and grand mal seizures (tonic-clonic seizures) 3 to 4 times a week for 5 years. During that time I pray to God every day to make them go away. The doctor told me that I would never drive, I would never work, and they wanted me to wear a helmet to school however, I didn't want to and I didn't so my doctor then told me about a new surgery that could potentially help me. So I went to have the surgery and while I was in observation they asked if I wanted to try a new medication that could potentially help, I said yes and guess what... It worked! I didn't need the surgery and that was 23 years ago! I'm now 41 years old. I never gave up. Even now I still don't have seizures though my epilepsy makes things harder for me to do, I pray and I do not give up!

I have issue from when I was 2 year old now i am now 37 years.
I spent my whole life as a day dreamer
Now I want to come out from all off this situation
I want to change my job and earn more money.
And want to be more present during all days.
I required to make perfect decision. Some days ago I minimize my doses from "Levera500mg" to 250mg but resultant falter in my voice.
Earlier when I was child doctor start my course with 'eptoine 100mg'
During medicines no seizure reported till my 20th birthday. Doctor stopped it after reduction.
After 2 years without medicine again seizure happened with me during fever and not sleeping properly. Then doctors start "Volvo CR- 500mg" my weight increse dramatically approx 20kg more. And after 6 yers course all test found normal, and Doctor stopped this.
During this time I became a husband, a father and after 1 and 1/2 yers of my marriage one day after night shift of my job I not take rest properly and suddenly this happened with me again.
I am doing meditation some time in morning but not getting perfect result.
Some pain observed bellow my eyes. And some time I talked something unknowingly.
Being unknowingly is my biggest enemy .
Share and guide me for my better tomorrow.Yes

So happy for you! May I ask what medication they put you on? Praying this over the whole epilepsy community! <3
