i’ve had epilepsy for about 14 years. the first 9 were only absence seizures which were misdiagnosed as adhd. when i was 16 i started having grand mal seizures and i have had both ever since then. i’m about to turn 21 in a few days. i finally found meds that can control them though

I've had my epilepsy for 13 years now, I basically manage it by taking medication and for me personally certain lights hurt my eyes so I try to avoid those type of lights. And for me personally it does not affect my day to day basis unless it's night and then certain lights will of course hurt my eyes

I’ve had Epilepsy for 8 years. I really have no way that I manage it I’m always anxious about it tbh. But taking my medicine daily around the same time seems to control my seizures if I don’t take my medicine in 2-3 days I’ll have one. So, I always stay on track with it. If I feel weird or have a aura type feeling I’ll sit down and drink some water.

I have had epilepsy (since I was diagnosed) for 9 years. Don't know if I've had it all my life or if it came out of nowhere. I manage my epilepsy by having a 'service' cat (she's not licensed). Or I do something I like to do such as drawing, singing, watch movies/tv shows, cuddle with my cat, etc. It only affects the schedule you have and possibly the mood. I've been told I'm lucky because most people when the come out of a seizure during their postictal state they're angry and yelling at people while I'm kinda the funny type of weird. I'm in a good mood of tired but I have a lot of things that are complicated sometimes because I do get irritated just not as badly as others. If you want to talk more I'll be more than happy to talk with you and help if need be 😊

Mine were under control until March 5 th. Now they are so bad I can't work I go to the neurologist June 1st I sure hope he can figure out something

I had epilepsy for 7 years now and I just manage it with my medication and the side effects can affect my daily life and not being able to certain things
