Welcome to my new journey in life, living with and learning about epilepsy. This wild ride began at 3:00a.m. on 14 June 2011 when I experienced my first nocturnal generalized tonic-clonic seizure.
More than 180,000 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every year. Epilepsy affects nearly 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide. Seven out of ten epilepsy patients never find a clear cause for their epilepsy.
Does that shock you? It did me.
So join me as I learn and discover more about this new journey in my life living with epilepsy. I’m sure it will be a wild ride!
Oh, why the blog name My Excited Brain? Well, I like to deal with adversities in my life using humor. My type of seizures are caused by all the neurons firing at once in my brain making my brain sort of… over excited. I jokingly said to my husband after researching done following my third seizure, “my brain’s just so excited!” (grin) That became the inspiration for this new blog.Keep smiling!
