It is a challenge, living with Epilepsy. We may control our lives, but epilepsy likes to throw obstacles in our way. We have to decide how we’re getting around the obstacles or if it even possible

Seizures do have affect on the brain. They can make us struggle with cognitive thinking, our motor skills with reading and writing and decision making. Then there are memory, stuttering.

But also our medications are just as bad if not worst. They can also do a lot of the same stuff as our seizures .
