For those of you who don't know my name is Jade and not only am I the coolest Mormon girl you know I am also the most awesome epileptic girl you know too!!
so this week I have realised that I would really really hate having epilepsy if I didn't have the wonderful people I am blessed with in my life around me. I suffer from both photo sensitive and general epilepsy and have absences and tonic clonic seizures. I've only been epileptic for 3 years since having an accident so I'm still getting used to it!!!!
My friends and I are able to laugh at the many absences I have.... An absence is simply where I zone out for a little while... Unless they tell me this has happened I am not aware of it at all. We have some good laughs about the Jade world I must visit!!! ( I imagine it to be a bit of a princess fairytale world, with batman thrown in for good measure)
The biggy seizures are not so fun and we find it harder to laugh about those but my wonderful friends and the amazing team of people I get to work with everyday make those harder times ok too.
This week I had a seizure at work, something which upsets me greatly, but the awesome people I work with know how to deal not only with the seizure but also with me. The love, care and support they show me often overwhelms me. I love each one of them greatly, they really are all amazing people and the reason I can fight epilepsy every day and win. They help to make it
Jade 1 - Epilepsy-0. The foundation team I work with are my real life superheroes!!!!!!!!!!
Epilepsy is no fun !sometimes but the Lord can bless ones with keys to do ace things that no man or woman can do! Like I do magic I have done things that no one can think of! Epilepsy can stop dreams and ones to go to work but if have good things to gave to the world then gave it!
