It has been 42 hours since I missed my nightly dose of 4 Keppra and 1 Vimpat. These are the two medicines that have been doing a great job of helping me control my epilepsy. I spent 24 hours without taking Vimpat and 42 without Keppra. Nothing happened during the day I spent without Keppra or without my nightly dose of Vimpat. I don’t know if this means anything, maybe I was just lucky nothing happened. I don’t know, but it won’t happen again.
I really thought that if I was just a few hours late in taking them, I would have a seizure, but nope, I was wrong. I was able to prove that my small theory was wrong, without trying and without instructions from my neurologist. My question was, what will happen if I didn’t take the medicines at the time I’m supposed to? I thought I was taking a big risk just taking my medicine 30 minutes or an hour later.
I didn’t mean to do this experiment right now, but it just happened and it was a success. I know I don’t have to be so nervous about taking it a few minutes later. I am still 9 months seizure free!
I think I should tell my neurologist…

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
