Today, as I was looking for more freelance jobs, something came over me and I decided to go after that internship I applied to this weekend.

Have you ever heard of application stalking? I hadn't, I don't even know if it's a thing, but I think one of my cellphone apps is stalking me.

Today we had to go all the way to the health care store to argue my case, and I was pumped to argue my case and fight. We got there, and the place was empty, it was Thursday afternoon, but we still had to wait because they only had one or two people helping customers. … Continue reading I call this a victory
Well, the health insurance still hasn't approved my request for the anti-seizure medicine. My epilepsy won't wait for them to decide to approve to help pay for my medicine. If I didn't have an angel watching over me at the pharmacy, I would be in crisis mode, which could cause a seizure. This is totally … Continue reading The battle continues- Day 3
My neurologist sent the pharmacy the justification for my need of the anti-seizure medicine yesterday afternoon. The pharmacy didn't get around to getting it to the health insurance until today. They could be excused if they didn't know my need for the medicine was like, yesterday, if we hadn't been asking for it for days. … Continue reading My battle with health insurance- Day 2
Having health insurance is something we have all come to need, but a big pain in the b...ack. I just changed my health insurance coverage because I'm about to turn 26, at which age I can no longer be covered by the same plan as my parents. So as soon as we could, we went … Continue reading Why can’t I have my meds?

As I said this morning, my appointment with my neurologist was this afternoon. After sitting in the crowded waiting room, and waiting, quickly writing and posting another blog post, and waiting a little bit more, they called my name to go see him. When my doctor came in, after saying all the hellos, I quickly … Continue reading And my neurologist said…
Today I have an appointment with my neurologist, and I've been thinking all day how happy he's gonna be when I tell him that next week I'll be 12 months seizure free.
