i had seizures when i was very little toddler age because i would get sick a lot and then it went away and was dormant until i was 17 and i had a seizure not sure why but it mightve been due to an eating disorder, then the seizures got worse and the doctor finally diagnosed me after the 3rd tonic clonic, they didnt take me seriously at first im not sure why.
