I have seizure/epilepsy. When I was young, everytime may severe pain akong na-feel like stomach pains, bigla na lang akong mag-collapse and unconscious for a few seconds. When it happens and other people were around, mom and dad would just tell them na kesyo mahina daw tolerance ko sa pain, na para bang normal na scenario na lang sa kanila ang makita akong nahihimatay tuwing may sumasakit sa akin. They didn't bring me to the doctor for checkup, not even my dad. Si mama kasi, ang reason nya is hindi sya bilib sa doctors coz my eldest sister died nung baby pa lang, eh complete ang immunizations nun. Kaya when I was born, pati yung younger sis ko na fave nya, wala kaming bakuna ni isa coz yun ang reason ni mom.
As I grew up, dala-dala ko yung sakit na yun,even sa school or sa streets bigla ako nahihimatay. So for me naman, parang its a normal thing na lang coz un ang iminulat sa akin ng parents ko... na sadyang mahina ang tolerance ko sa pain. Yung sister ko sanay na din na nakikita akong nahihimatay. Pero pag friends ko,when they see me like that they ask me if I'm epileptic kasi daw I'm shaking and naninigas daw ang body ko. Luckily naman laging may nakakasalo sa akin pag nagco-collapse ako. Aside from this, I also started suffering from severe migraines, tapos sobra akong nagiging makakalimutin.
Until that incident happened where nobody saw me and I collapsed so nagkabukol ako. Hubby brought me sa neuro for checkup and had a CTscan and EEG. ok daw yung ctscan, no internal bleeding, pero yung EEG, yung mismong brain activity... the dr. found some injuries. So I related to the dr. yung mga pagkahimatay ko since I was young. She confirmed to me that I have seizure, and since it started at a young age and was not treated agad, malaki na yung damage sa brain, which is why I'm suffering from severe migraines, and baka daw later on... memory loss.
I'm suffering from very painful migraines, as in everyday sumasakit ang ulo ko, whole day syang masakit. Minsan sumusuka na talaga ko. Minsan nga I hit my head with something para ma-ease yung pain.
Tapos sobrang malilimutin na ako, to the point na I always need to have a small note in my purse as a reminder of the tasks that I need to do for the day. Sometimes when hubby and I talk about something, I tend to forget words. Whenever we watch movies or tv series, pag ipinakwento mo sa akin hindi ko maikwento ng buo kahit kapapanuod ko lang coz nalimutan ko na.
So sabi ng dr. as much as possible, wag muna kami magka-baby bcoz it'll be hard for both of us and baka mamana nya ang mga sakit ko. E kumusta naman, I'm 31 yrs old na and according to my OB, mahirap na ako mabuntis coz of my age and I also have myoma.
So now that all these illnesses eh nagkapatung-patong na sa akin, saan ba ito lahat nagsimula? Diba sa pagkabata ko pa? Andami namin plans ni hubby like nag-iipon na kami coz we want to have a baby na sana this year. Tapos we also want to renovate our new house sana para if mabuntis na ko maayos na yung house before I give birth. Kaso hindi na maka-save ng enough coz lahat napunta na sa medications ko. Sino ba naman hindi made-depress diba. Dahil lang sa sakit na naagapan sana nung bata pa ko, siguro everything will be alright now.
