Ellie had dreamed of becoming a paramedic 'as early as (she) can remember'. During her second year of university, Ellie was involved in a crash and just two months later, 'out of the blue', she experienced her first epileptic seizure.
,"couldn't wait" to go to university. Once she had started studying, the course was"everything and more".
Ellie ended up working in her local Subway branch for roughly a year while she was in a"weird limbo" and feeling"miserable". However, she has since found a new career and wants to stress the importance of holding onto hope. Ellie said that there is no history of epilepsy in her family and"there were no warning signs" prior to her first seizure - but"from that point on, it was like world had ended". She described the first seizure as"terrifying" with her being unconscious - she was told by her then-partner that it lasted for around three minutes.
Epilepsy is a common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures, the NHS says. According to the DVLA, if you have had epileptic seizures while awake and lost consciousness, your driving licence will be taken away, but you can reapply if you have not had a seizure for at least a year.
