Will I ever feel normal again
Hi pals.
I’m 33f, first seizure was in September of last year. Since then, I’ve had 52 that I’m aware of. I’ve been on 3 meds, currently on the max dose of keppra. It’s been 3 weeks since my last seizure, which I’m so grateful for. But my life has been flipped upside down.
I’m a single mom with sole custody of two young boys. Because of all of this health stuff, I’ve had to leave a job I loved that paid well, a house I owned and raised my kids in (I know they’re young but it was still painful) and move 500 miles back home to move in with my parents as to not be alone and for my support with my kids.
I’m exhausted ALL the time. My memory and cognitive processing are embarrassing. I feel like I’m a shell of myself and I want so desperately to be more present for my kids. They go to school, play outside with friends every day, have a good routine that I’m a part of, but I frequently have to take breaks to lay down. I feel like I need to rest my brain.
Will I be able to live a normal life again?
