Hello! My Name is Amy

At seventeen years old, I got first grand mal seizure, but I worked through the seizures not knowing what was going on until one of the coworkers saw my seizures. Then she told me that her family has the same thing. She told me straight forward that I need to see a neurologist and that's how I actually found what was going on with my body.

Has anyone else shared a similar experience?

  1. Hi Amy,

    I haven't had that experience. I was 9 years old when I had my first seizure. I didn't know what it was, all I knew is I have seizures now. Lucky for you, you had a coworker who could identify what was going on with you. That's amazing! I hope you were able to learn about epilepsy.
