I have epilepsy and I’ve had seizure activity since I was 14 although my neurologist then never told my parents. I discovered it when I started professional pharmacy school (the first year when I was a junior at university at Laramie). I had my first grand mal seizure in our kitchen and my 4 year old son found me after hearing my head hit the counter and my land on the floor and begin seizing. He then ran to my husband and he called 911.
I barely passed pharmacy school after that because of all the experimentation and reactions to seizure medications over the course of the next two years. But I did it!
