Many thanks . So what are you saving for ? <| sep |> My first was terrifying because I had no idea of what was going on . I just remember waking up to my family freaking out and EMT ' s around me . I remember them asking me what my name was and the year . It was so scary to not know the answers to any of that . Since then I have had several more , but I have made progress with controlling them . They are not fun and I pray you don ' t have to experience any more of them , but if you do , hang in there . It takes some time but it is more than possible to get on a medication that will control them . The good news is that epilepsy is more common than most people think . What ' s good about that , is that it means people are really working towards cures every single day . 10 years from now , it may not even really be a thing . So much has changed in just the last 5 years alone . Hang in there my friend . A lot of us are fighting the battle with you . God Bless .
