When I went to see an epileptologist, he asked me what my goals were. This surprised me—I didn’t realize I had a say in the matter. I told him I wanted to do the things I was able to do before—mainly, to be an active high schooler.
I know I’m strong and can manage any role I take on—and I found a path that was best for me and my well-being.
"I don’t feel anything during the seizure, at least not that I know of"
"As an adult, simply put, I tell people that it feels like there’s a tornado in my head"
