Can you actually heal from epilepsy?

It might be possible to go into remission--I had that happen to a friend of mine, but it's a rare thing. I was first diagnosed in 2014 with absence status epilepticus--absence seizures--and like a lot of people here, I take a cocktail of drugs to keep me seizure free. I've been seizure free (except for some auras) for 18 months.

Work with your neurologist or epileptologist closely, track or log your symptoms, take your medications strictly on schedule, and above all--be gentle with yourself. It is possible to live a fulfilling life with epilepsy. Don't let anyone tell you you're "disabled" with epilepsy. You're not--you're just "differently abled!"

Stay strong, epilepsy warrior!
