He also mentioned that he has been on medication to help manage the seizures since then.
“I had never suffered before. It was a pretty strong episode. I was admitted four days to the hospital, where they did enough tests. I had a hard time remembering some things that happened to me during that day. There are times in the hospital that I don’t remember.”
“I was evaluated for the electrical activity of nerve cells that are located in the cerebral cortex, one of the main studies to diagnose epilepsy. Since then I have not suffered any episode like this again. Here I continue, with a pill at night for four years.
