Migraines and Seizures Have Stolen My Life!

So a little backstory on me. Everything in my life was normal up until May 28, 2015. That day I suddenly came down with the WORST head pain I’ve ever experienced in all my life. I cried all through the night and started to projectile vomit. I went to Urgent Care immediately the next morning and was told it was a migraine and was given a Toradol shot and some Benadryl. That migraine never went away.

Fast forward 3 1/2 years, many ER visits, doctor appointments, numerous medications and I still have not found any real relief. I have wanted to give up so many times.

This year I started to have seizures. Whole body convulsions, to small episodes in my legs begin to happen, sometimes I have as many as 20 seizures a day. This leaves me incapable to do much of anything and most of my life is spent in bed or my chair minus the one day a month I get where I feel just a tease of normalcy.

Last year I lost my boyfriend of 3 years because he couldn’t handle me at “my worst” and not a lot of people could, I’m sure. I have also lost many of my friends due to the isolation I put myself in because of the pain. I lost my job because I can no longer be subjected to bright lights, noise or sound lest I have another attack.

I take many herbal remedies as well as keep taking my preventive and abortive medication which is too much to list here. I meditate, eat right, sleep as much as I can and positive thinking keeps my mind strong. Some days have been so dark I contemplate taking my life to rid myself of the endless agony, but those feelings do not last.

Today I have been blessed with the most amazing man I have ever met. The moment I saw him it was during one of my rare feel-good days, and I knew he had to be mine.

I shared with him about my health problems and since he was super easy to talk to, I told him some things about my illness I haven’t been able to tell anyone.

Girls, he has been my lifesaver! Yesterday as I suffered a terrible seizure on the floor but he scooped me up so I wouldn’t hurt myself and put me on the bed and held my hand until it was over. He does my grocery shopping, buys me things I need and constantly gasses me up and tells me “Everything is gonna be okay!” After my last relationship I didn’t think I would ever find love. Especially someone that could improve my life in such a way as he does.

Life can be cruel and unfair at times, but if you let it, good things can transpire in the most surprising ways.

I told him that day I was gonna marry him and I plan to.

If anyone has a story such as mine I would love to hear it 💕💕💕

You’re all so beautiful and inspiring 😍

PS. If anyone knows of any seizure relief (other than CBD I already take it) please share!
