A continuation of yesterdays list.
1. Epilepsy
I've got epilepsy. I figured this out after taking a fit after a night of drinking, at 19. It was a real scare. Up until then i felt immortal, that really frightened me and showed just how short life is. I believe death is a lot like the blackout stage during/after the fit. People can interact with 'me', but it's not me. It's someone/something else that's took control of my body. `I think dementia is similar. There's glimpses of the real person, but for the most part they're gone.
I was on tablets for a long time, but after moving to China i was no longer able to get them, so i weaned myself off them. Thats 9 years without tablets and i've only had two fits since then. Both due to drinking too much. I've cut down to drinking next to nothing. One or two on the odd occasion i pop out. I don't miss it. Enjoying the sober life.
I wouldn't say I'm anti-vax, but i think finding natural ways to control your body is always better than medicine. If there's no option then of course medicine beats suffering/death.
