Hi! I'm Gabby!
My name is Gabby and I have Epilepsy. I started having seizures when I was 11 years old. With my epilepsy I've had just about every problem/obstacle in the book. I've been bullied, discriminated against, I've had seizures at school and in public places. Sometimes I wish I didn't have epilepsy, but there's not much I can do about it. Over the years, I have found that epilepsy was somewhat of a blessing in disguise.
I have been seizure free since November 17th, 2014. At the end of October 2014, I will have had epilepsy for 7 years.
In June of 2013, I started developing a new awareness group for my community called, "Gabby's Army for Epilepsy". I used the term "Army" because that is the name for a group of my favorite animal: frogs (and it just makes sense)! I plan on using my knowledge of epilepsy to raise awareness and decrease if not erase the common ignorance in the schools and my community. Tweet me or e-mail me from the "Shout Outs, Blogs, and Milestones" page for more information on epilepsy, my personal experiences, or Gabby's Army for Epilepsy.
