11 months!

As promised last month, here is my poster for 11 months seizure free.  As I say every month, I can't believe I've made it this long seizure free.  Reaching a year will make me feel more accomplished than anything else I've done this past year. Just 1 more month!!!!!

Working, seizure free woman

Today, March 8 is International Women's day. I read that today is a celebration of women's achievements. While I would have celebrated all my achievements anyway if it was any other day, it is great that it turned out to be International Women's Day.

Today not only marks my 10 months seizure free, but it’s also International Epilepsy Day, both of which I almost forgot. It feels very random that my 10 months seizure free would fall on this day that we … Continue reading 10 months! #epilepsyday

That time I missed a dose

I've been really good about taking my medicine on time, sometimes I'm a little too strict about that. If it's 8 pm, it's 8 pm, not a minute sooner, and I never forget. I complain when my mom keeps checking up on me, asking if I took my medicines, because she knows I'm even more … Continue reading That time I missed a dose

I can't believe I finally made it 6 months.  I had only been able to … Continue reading 6 MONTHS SEIZURES FREE!!!!!
