"I never thought the one thing I hated most in my life would be the thing that would make me a better person. It's pretty cool."
The 32-year-old has taken medication for her epilepsy since she was a child but stopped in her late teens, convinced it was responsible for her two to three seizures every week. Since then she has only suffered the odd seizure each year until the driveway episode.
"I brushed it off, you know, but on my daughter's birthday not long after I had twitches. I spent most of my day in my room. I was worried I might drop my baby because the twitches were affecting my arms," she said.
She wants others to also take control and ask for help.
"If there's anyone else with epilepsy out there needing help, it's there. All they need to do is ask."
