Why am I doing this??
Tuesday 15th SepThis year I’ve decided to take part in the walk for epilepsy.
Some of you may know, I am epileptic, I was diagnosed at 13! We thought I’d grow out of it, but it likes me too much so it’s here to stay.
There are many different types of epilepsy but the specific type I have is called idiopathic photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy.
We never really hear too much about this disorder which is surprising considering 1 in 25 people have epilepsy.
It’s estimated that 70% of people with epilepsy can live seizure free if properly diagnosed and treated (amazing)
However the risk of premature death in people with epilepsy is three times higher than for the general population.
I’m not here to tell you my story, it’s a private, lengthy and sometimes very debilitating over the years, however I now fall into the 70% that live seizure free with no side affects from their medication!!! Woohooo only took us 9 years!
I am one of the lucky ones, epilepsy affects every individual in different ways, it affects their occupation, most individuals need their environment adapted in their homes, and it affects us socially.
As a teenager I think the social aspect of this disorder affected me the most.
In the month of October there is a walk with epilepsy from the 1st-25th of October please join my team and walk with me!!
I’ll be walking 2km a day and on the 24th of October I’ll be walking from greenvale to Essendon and clocking 25km
Help me spread the word on this disorder, they need us too, this isn’t spoken about enough!!
