I am not Living with Epilepsy

I do not live with Epilepsy, but I live with Epilepsy.  I do not take the medications, but I call them in to the pharmacy, I administer them three times a day and I track the awful side effects. I do not experience the brain fog, the loss of cognition, the slow processing speed and the difficulty to keep up with peers, but I see it, every single day. I do not have seizures, but I do feel them deep down in every ounce of my body.  I am not sleeping for hours on end after a seizure, but I am exhausted to my core. I do not live with Epilepsy, but I live with Epilepsy.

I am a parent to child with lives with this awful neurological disorder. I am a parent who is angry, sad and frustrated and knows that my child and every person living with Epilepsy deserves a cure. I am not living with Epilepsy, I live with Epilepsy.
