Yesterday, I ran 4.5 miles and I could care less about my time. What people don't understand is that every mile is a victory. Every time I complete a training run, I feel one step closer to being seizure free. Running never used to be a big deal for me, but now, it feels like a mile stone.
Epilepsy is a physical, functional problem that occurs in the brain. An epileptic seizure is an unprovoked and unpredictable interruption of a person's daily life. I don't like how Epileptics are stereotyped for being "crazy or possessed." Their is such a stigma today among the work force for people with Epilepsy. Although people are becoming educated about this neurological disorder, it continues to be something that isn't talked about. Personally, I have been in denial and have questioned so many things about being diagnosed with it. I continue to search for answers because cannot understand how an adult can have an onset of seizures.
Anyways, after my run, I got a very bad migraine, (which didn't use to happen until I started having seizures) which led me to giving myself an air shot in order to reduce the pain. I continue to believe God's healing over my body.
February 1st, will mark six months of being seizure free! A part of me believes I am healed and another part of me has a huge fear that, the seizures aren't over. Could the seizures be done? I hope so.
The one thing I know for sure.. Running has everything to do with will power and it continues to give me hope that my body is healing.
Next week, I have a running giveaway, so stay tune!
