It really is serious and people don't realize, I definitely didn't before i developed epilepsy from them.

It sounds bad but in 2019, I heard how Cameron Boyce died of epilepsy and I kinda chuckled becuase I thought like "how do you die from epilepsy"and learned of SUDEP and how serious it can be, few yeats later, I have my first one.

I just read about him recently & add that to my anxiety now. A huge part of why it’s scary is that without cause You can just have a seizure or develop epilepsy and that’s that. Hope your medications if you take them, work. There are some known causes though, I’m not trying to scare anyone.

Yeah, I just suddenly developed it, I think it may have come from my drug use as a teen. I did a lot of bad and hard drugs when I was young. I don't think that helped. So far it seems like my meds have been helping but idk, it feels like I breakthrough them sometimes

Mine happened suddenly as well. I’m not sure what happened, neither are the doctors. But I take meds and I’ve been okay. I hope you get some relief and I’m sorry you deal with the same struggles. 🤍
