Bryan Farley - More than Kids - Living with Epilepsy for 25 Years

"9-29-1984 - I was sixteen, smart and apparently healthy. In June, I passed my driving test. In August, I finished the San Francisco Marathon (crawling the last six miles), and two weeks earlier, a really cute girl somehow became my girlfriend after we kissed at the first high school dance. When I woke up that Saturday morning, you could forgive me if I had thought, "Life is good today."

I went to a speech tournament feeling confident, until small electric jolts surged through my body every few moments. For about an hour, my jaw suddenly spasmed causing me to stutter and pause. It seemed as if my lower jaw wanted to separate from the rest of my face. Now I recognize these signs, and relax. When I was young, I pushed forward endangering my life."

So there are all of your seizure stories for now! Please feel free to keep tweeting, e-mailing, and Facebooking! You can also leave your stories in the comments of my blogs if you wish!
