I am trying to find care in England and am more than happy to travel, even with drop attacks with no warning what so ever to get the care I so disperately need. My memory is awful, my eye sight is terrible, I have the shakes in fact I have grown up with the shakes, they are worse before and after an attack. I have broken so many bones over the last 4 or 5 years, cracked a limb or 2 along the way as well. I refuse to sit around in the house and wait for the onslaught of these seizures I walk miles in great pain and run the risk of crashing down wherever I am, but stubbornest and the desire to walk, gets me out and about and off my butt, keeps me fit (excuse the pun) too. I will not be wrapped up in cotton wool, I know my friends worry, but hey I want to be outside, come rain, snow or sun. There is no point in getting upset by this, I dont see it as an illness coz if I did I’d do nothing, its an inconvenence and I will be walking out there on the hills. Although it is an disabililty especially when you want to be a brain surgeon or work in a factory or be a walk leader or even drive a train! Comments
