I ended up getting vertigo from vimpat, worst experience I've ever had with a medication. I would deal with covid again then deal with vertigo again.

COVID for me! I ended up in the hospital needing oxygen and running 105°f. I was sick for 4 weeks. I even had a couple seizures during that time!

I had Mono as a teen and was very sick for weeks. I’ve had shingles in my 20s and that was bad..no insurance or medication with that one. Also, not an illness but I had open heart surgery at age 23 and the recovery was rough.
But to be fair my epilepsy is not “that bad” compared to other people.
