Do any of my Fitness Professional or Not family out there in the world have Epilepsy or have trained people with it? It is something i hold dear to me as I had my first one after playing a video game when I was 17. I was never really told a reason to why I had it and have been dealing with it ever since. I am now 30 aand haven’t let it stop me. Working out and living healthy to the best of my abilities is what has kept me going this year. I was told continuing playing football in college and past college would be a risk but so would not trying. I have never had one while awake only in my sleep and luckily i was never alone. My goal is to bring more awareness about this to the forefront because MANY people deal with it. Do i have fears, YES, not a day goes by that i don’t think about it. Is the medicine working, is the exercise I’m doing too much or too little? Nobody seems to really have a answer as to why i have them every 6-8 months and so on. I have had every test done you could imagine and tried to stay focused and not let it consume me. I believe i am on this earth for a purpose to inspire and if I can educate more people about this and lead from the front i will do so even more. I am no different than anyone..i just have super powers of a certain kind.
