...and where I am today.
I got noticed for epilepsy and a mental disability when I was
2 years old.
I went through childhood with an articulate voice and could describe
what people felt like, and had medicine through childhood. Then at 20 years old, I
went to a school that helped people to live independently. I was there for 2-4
years. I lived in apartments for a few years, then eventually started at The Center For Independent Futures. I was 43-44 years old then.
Between 44-45 years
old my behavior started changing on me. I was getting scared to go places, and
was acting in other crazy ways. So I went to a private doctor to check out my
meds. He said my meds were off balance and needed to get them sorted out.
So we
had me go through surgery [which was scary], to put in a Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) inside of me. It
is near my heart. I have been behaving better since I had it. My meds have been
decreased a few times also.
At age 46: I am behaving a lot better and feel more
myself since I had the VNS. I am glad we did the surgery.
