ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let's be honest: most of us with epilepsy have been in a Deep Denial phase at some point. Lucca Bevan joins us to talk about hers. She shares what it took to move toward acceptance and the power of connecting with others who just “get it.”
We also talk about the impact of epilepsy on your sense of self and being denied opportunities because of it. Plus, how an 1800s history book explained the mystery seizures that five neurologists couldn't.
