One of the worst things about epilepsy is that people think that you are exaggerating about the side effects of the anti seizure medication that you take to keep from having seizures. To live a semi normal life because the life you previously had will never be the same again. I’ve left two really good jobs in the past two years because the medication was whupping my ass. The medication has destroyed my short term memory so I can’t retain information and I am tired from dawn to dusk. Why would anyone think that people would lie about this? Are people really this damn stupid?
I’m so tired. I had to fight to get my medicine because initially, the insurance company denied me. Now I’m fighting to get my unemployment because I’ve been denied because I resigned due to health issues. And now I’m going to have to fight for disability. I’m tired of fighting for my humanity.
