Recently, I learned that my friend's son has been diagnosed with the same illness I have, so she asked me for my thoughts. Her son has just been diagnosed and experiences irregular episodes, leaving her, as a mother, constantly worried. Since the doctors cannot find the cause or suitable medication to control his condition, she appears anxious.12Please respect copyright.PENANAck0KX8Jjdt

She worries about when her son might have an episode, fears she won’t be able to afford medical expenses, and faces various concerns. This psychological pressure has reflected on her physical health, leading to frequent vomiting and stomach pain, making her feel gloomy. Consequently, her son is affected by her emotions and seems quieter than before.

Every move her son makes fills her with dread; she fears he might suddenly faint. She tells him not to wander off and becomes scared to let him go to school whenever he has an episode, but this is not a long-term solution. Life must go on. I believe that family companionship and support are very important, and her son does not want to be sick either.

If she is overly concerned about the episodes and approaches everyone with anxiety, it creates pressure for both sides, which is not wise. I think the mother should keep a record of her son's episodes, including the circumstances and timing. There are certain patterns to these episodes, although they vary from person to person. Some warning signs often appear before an episode, and it’s essential to recognize these signs and track their frequency and timing. This information can help doctors make better assessments and diagnoses. Most importantly, facing this illness with a relaxed attitude is crucial; constant worry won’t help the situation. If the condition is not severe, I believe the best approach is to continue with daily life and not to avoid it or fear letting others know.

The most troubling aspect of this illness is the uncertainty of when an episode will occur, which can indeed be frustrating. Since this illness cannot be cured but only controlled with medication, surgery may be an option if the medication is ineffective. When I heard this news, I felt sad for a long time, questioning why it happened to me. However, I believe that everything that happens to us has a reason, including our illnesses. It may be a way for me to grow and change.
