On posting my piece re my epilepsy diagnosis I have been inundated with support from so many different people.
To start, a few thank yous to some truly amazing people.
Firstly, one of my best friends, Nick. Not only has he spent years putting up with my episodes, he's also been a massive comfort to me when times have been difficult. For that, I'd like to thank him for everything. He was also the first person to share my blog with his friends and from there it sparked a massive chain of events.
Heidi. My best friend. After only knowing her a few months I know she is a friend I will never be losing. Not only is she a beaut but she was also there for me at my appointment and has stood by me throughout the time I've known her. Love her to pieces.
Michelle. A lovely lady I have met a few years ago and who recently contacted me after reading my blog. A fellow sufferer she knows her stuff and has been on hand to offer advice and answer any questions I've had.
Team Epilepsy. What absolute legends. After messaging them asking if they would be willing to share my post in hope of helping others they did! Thank you to them for being a great resource and such a supportive team!
Leon Legge. A Gillingham FC defender who was kind enough to repost and share my blog on Twitter to all his followers. He was also kind enough to speak to me about his experience with it. Very grateful to him.
There have been lots of other people who have been amazing but the above have been the most prominent of all. Thank you to everyone for everything.
Since I was diagnosed I realised how much stronger my support network had become. The people I loved came out in force and showed me how amazing they really are. We all knew there was something not quite right with me but finally the relief from all has been incredible. The relief that we all know what it is and how we can overcome it.
I must admit, the 2 days after my diagnosis were tough. Harder than I ever thought they would be. I was very low. I couldn't comprehend my life sentence because that's what it felt like. Now the initial shock has subsided, I am seeing life how it should be and I am very optimistic for the future.
Positive changes are ahead and I am so grateful to know I have some awesome people around me.
Thank you to everyone who has been there for me and continues to be. You are all magnificent.
