This year, 90 people within Huron, Perth and Bruce Counties will be diagnosed with epilepsy. One out of 10 people will have a seizure at some point in his or her life. After migraine headaches, epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder. Christina May was five years old when she experienced her first seizures. Throughout her school days, most teachers did not understand what epilepsy was and would yell at her to pay attention. She remembers coming out of a seizure and finding fellow students staring down at her, some concerned, some laughing, some making fun. She also experienced “auras”, small seizures that didn’t cause her to lose consciousness; they were often a warning sign that a bigger seizure was coming. When she had an aura, she learned to run to the bathroom, because she didn’t want anyone to see her seizure. Unfortunately, sometimes she would fall and hit the toilet or sink, ending up with black eyes, broken teeth and even broken limbs. But, she said it was better than waking up to the teasing and intolerance. Today, Christina May continues to have uncontrolled seizures. She lives in the country and cannot drive because of her seizures. T he staff at Epilepsy Huron Perth Bruce has been instrumental in helping her to live a mostly normal life, she said.
