I was kinda at when I was diagnosed with and was kinda a little bit that way, but I over the years have gotten used to it and have a good routine with my condition and such and it's a norm for me, I don't have a prob with anymore doing, it's 2nd nature thing to me, at first it was kinda of uneasy and took me some time but got it established and don't have a prob with, what about you?

No Im not ok with due to a seizue can come at anytime unexpectedly and that’s scary❣️ I don’t know when where and what kind and I think about it daily❣️ And my meds are a blessing I went from 2 or 3 a week to not having one since March and 🔚🔚 I can say it was my best birthday present 🎁❣️

I never accepted no as an answer. I never let them tell me this epilepsy was my future. I remained focused on my future goals. Yes, other shorter goals showed up between here and there. I kept looking out and kept seeing college ahead of me. This kept me going. Many people give up and see no future. My sister has no conditions, but she has accepted her drugs as the only part of life that matters. That there is no point to life. She has no long-term goals. You never know if you are reaching goals if you don't set goals. I set goals, and I write them down. Some small, medium, and long-term goals. I try to do this often to keep myself going. I even now have had my nieces sit and write themselves a letter for the year they graduated high school. Did they reach those goals? We have eight years to start finding out. I also remind them of this. Dream out to see out in front of you and never give up. I am walking proof. Wednesday is 10 years seizure-free!

I’m okay with my conditions and diseases today. It took me many many years to get here. I just don’t like taking all of the medication and vitamins. A lot of the drugs I’m taking are for the rest of my life and I hate that thought.

As I have gotten older I have started to resent taking my meds more. I don't miss the doses, I hate taking them. I also hate having to reload my pill box all the darn time. I know it is only every week, but weeks are starting to go by too quickly now.
