I have friends, a partner, and I go out at weekends<\/strong>. I don\u2019t drink and I have a great time. Having said that, when I get home I have to rest enough hours. I drive and I lead a completely normal life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=“yes“ content_placement=“middle“ column_margin=“default“ text_align=“left“][vc_column_inner column_padding=“padding-5-percent“ column_padding_position=“left-right“ background_color_opacity=“1″ background_hover_color_opacity=“1″ column_shadow=“none“ column_border_radius=“none“ width=“2\/3″ column_border_width=“none“ column_border_style=“solid“][vc_column_text]When as a girl (at age 13) I was diagnosed with epilepsy, it meant a radical change for me and my parents<\/strong>. We didn\u2019t know what the disease meant. Since then I have suffered 8 episodes, mostly because of forgetting the medication or taking it at the wrong time. So far, I’ve had no seizures and a normal life for 6 years<\/strong>. I know it’s chronic and I see my doctor every year<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=“no-extra-padding“ column_padding_position=“all“ background_color_opacity=“1″ background_hover_color_opacity=“1″ column_shadow=“none“ column_border_radius=“none“ width=“1\/3″ column_border_width=“none“ column_border_style=“solid“][split_line_heading]\n

„I always had many questions about this disease and every time I see my neurologist, I bring a little notebook with all of them.“<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=“default“ text_align=“left“][vc_column_inner column_padding=“padding-5-percent“ column_padding_position=“left-right“ background_color_opacity=“1″ background_hover_color_opacity=“1″ column_shadow=“none“ column_border_radius=“none“ width=“1\/1″ column_border_width=“none“ column_border_style=“solid“][vc_column_text]At age 16 they asked me if I wanted to have children in the future, because the treatment I was taking at the time could harm future pregnancies. As I want to be a mother, I changed the treatment gradually and now I’m on this new treatment and without seizures. It comforts me to know that there are women with epilepsy who have been able to be mums<\/strong>.

The thing though, is that I often have to hear things like „But you can’t drink anything at all?“ and that makes me feel uneasy. I’ve already gone through the phase of being angry at the world<\/strong>, and it doesn’t bother me to explain that I can’t drink because I take a lot of medication. Luckily, I was diagnosed with epilepsy very early, so I hadn’t tried alcohol and I can’t miss something I haven’t tried. Although I’m now at a very good stage, I’ve also gone through really bad times, not wanting to leave the house because I was afraid I’d have a seizure alone<\/strong> in the street. I overcame that with all the support of my family, seeing a psychologist, doing activities like English classes and keeping myself amused and making new friends<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Espero servir de ayuda y si alguien tiene alguna duda encantad\u00edsima de resolverla o de compartir un ratito hablando.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=“in_container“ full_screen_row_position=“middle“ scene_position=“center“ text_color=“dark“ text_align=“left“ top_padding=“3%“ bottom_padding=“0″ overlay_strength=“0.3″ shape_divider_position=“bottom“ shape_type=““][vc_column column_padding=“no-extra-padding“ column_padding_position=“all“ background_color_opacity=“1″ background_hover_color_opacity=“1″ column_shadow=“none“ column_border_radius=“none“ width=“1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=“default“ phone_text_alignment=“default“ column_border_width=“none“ column_border_style=“solid“][vc_row_inner column_margin=“default“ text_align=“center“][vc_column_inner column_padding=“no-extra-padding“ column_padding_position=“all“ background_color_opacity=“1″ background_hover_color_opacity=“1″ column_shadow=“none“ column_border_radius=“none“ width=“1\/1″ column_border_width=“none“ column_border_style=“solid“]
