My Disability

On February 21st, 2016 I had what’s called a “Complex Partial Seizure ” that lasted almost over two minutes long. Since then, my eyesight, motor skills, cognitive skills and ability to function have severely decreased. I have multiple psuedo seizures and complex partial seizures each day which limit my ability to function. Since the seizure began at a single focal point (my eyes and face), then spread to the rest of my body, he let me know these are complex partial seizures. Partial (focal) seizures occur when the electrical activity remains in a limited area of the brain. The seizures sometimes turns into generalized seizures, which affects the whole brain.
The diagnosis/cause of these seizures is severe, veteran level PTSD leading to PNES (Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures).

My MRI and EEG have both come back normal, as predicted by the neurologist, however therapy has been difficult to begin. I originally had an appointment scheduled for May 6th, but the therapist cancelled to go on vacation. My next appointment is May 27th.

Due to being handicapped like this, I am unable to work. I did not receive sick leave from my last job, and we are currently living on savings. My partner is looking for work, and my other partner lives in another city.

I need help affording an assistance animal as I am unable to work, and with such an animal my state of life would significantly improve. Every bit counts towards the pup and their needs, so please share this!

Thank you

Please consider donating- as someone with a service animal, I can attest to how much they help, and how they are able to make life much easier and safer for those with disabilities.

If a donation isn’t possible, I implore you to signal boost this!
