I actually have a seizure disorder but not epilepsy. I was diagnosed after having a grand mal and abnormal brain activity on my EEG. However, because I have not had a grand mal or any other confirmed seizure since (I have had two episodes that could have been other seizures but it was never confirmed), the word "epilepsy" has never been used. I have been told that I could have another seizure at any time, but it is very well controlled since I am on medication for it. By the way, while researching seizures online, I found that there is this whole trend for people to fake seizures on purpose to scare their families! I find that very disgusting and insulting. Even one seizure for me was very traumatic.

I still have a seizure disorder, this unshakable streak. (I had it when I was a toddler and I am nearing the age of 17 now) 😭🙏🏻
