my life
By Val Good in Brain Injured and misunderstoood or abused

I Val never had a seizure until I was 18. Now, if I'm not on meds I'll have front temporal lobe and grande Mal seizures . The Dr.s don't want to say they say that's something you have since birth. I just have a seizure disorder....(Isn't that the same thing)? 1 year prior to having my "seizure disorder" I had about three months of bad headaches, high fevers and stiff necks. I went to my local doctor and they said they were just migraines. After a weekend of 101 + fever, I went to the E.R and after THREE spinal taps they said I had blood in the vial . Now, when I see a new Dr. or the Dr.s are running tests, they are really interested to hear my trauma story. My hospital is not a great hospital but also apart of a university system so I see allot of medical students. During a study, they had me tell my story to a group . epilepsy. (Yes he said the E word) Maybe something to do with the fevers and the fluid around the
