Epilepsy Is Not Who I Am

Growing up with epilepsy in the 1960s meant facing challenges that went far beyond seizures.At a time when epilepsy was often misunderstood, Peggy knew what it felt like to be judged, treated differently, and left wondering where she belonged. As she grew older, one question followed her: Would epilepsy define her life-or would she discover who she was beyond it?Through uncertainty, setbacks, and the struggle to fit in, Peggy began a journey toward something greater: discovering her own strength, embracing her identity, and realizing that a diagnosis may be part of her story, but it does not have the power to define who she is. Epilepsy Isn't Who I Am is an inspiring story of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to look beyond life's challenges to find identity, purpose, and hope.Because what you face may shape your story-but it doesn't have to define you.
