After 51 years of battling with epilepsy, I would do anything to get rid of focal seizures every five to seven days. These happen regularly and even though I am on medication, there is no control.

@Pleachaycheash617 I’m so sorry for your loss 💛 Losing a child is unimaginable, and it makes sense that it affects how you feel and express emotions. At the same time, we love your sense of humour 😄 – feeling 9 on the inside while knowing you’re 54 on the outside is something many of us can relate to. Thank you for sharing so honestly with the community.
