My name is Alice
Miller I am twenty seven
with Epilepsy. This is a seizure disorder where the
persons brain "has a blackout" for few second called absence seizure to minutes which can be anything from
myoclonic to grand mal seizures depending on the type you have. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I
was in ninth grade but it all started when i was in around seventh grade or so.
I am on medication and go for monthly check ups to make sure my seizures are in
tacked. I have to be more careful then most teenagers need to be when it comes
to partying and pulling all nighters and things like that. I can not drink as
much alcohol or be in settings with flashing lights at times. I am more prone
to getting sick and those are some of my triggers. It did not really affect my
self esteem rather it just bothered me that I could not be like everyone else
and do everything regular. It made me more aware of my medical life and I am
proud of who I am.
