Epilepsy in Young People

Francesca

I think it was more difficult for my family then it was for me, they had to sort put up with the seizures and being ill and I think as well they were sort of like, oh don't let her go anywhere on her own and sort of you know trying to look after me all the time. Which became a burden for them as much as it was for me as well.

Cause I was restricted from doing certain things like riding, maybe riding a bike or just you know like I'm sure there are things you can imagine, but I didn't really know I was missing out until I got a bit older.

it's it is something you have to come terms with at the end of the day and they you know they get on with it good now and they understand I am living that a life you know again more. It is not about the epilepsy anymore, it is about my life and epilepsy is only a small part of it. So they are quite happy to see me go off and travel and things. So, they do worry sometimes you know, because me being me I want to go off on my own [laughs] and they are uhh, but they do let me. They don't tend to have a rein on me which is I really respected.
