My epilepsy

When I left school I started college doing cooking I was enjoying myself.but one day I felt bad and everything started to sound funny round me my lips turn purple and I hit the floor.not knowing what it is I just carried on going.i then was told by the collage we can’t take you on anymore because of safety and others around u.i was then told by the doctors you are having a epileptic fit and need medication. So today I still take it but have had people take the total p out of me saying I’m faking it becuse I don’t shake.after seeing advert on tv that was everything that happens to me I come to realise you don’t have to just shake to have fits and there is more then one type out there.so joining a group like this is good knowing I don’t have to feel alone now with this .👍🏻
