I\u2019m never going to be able to drive\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a decade and the 26-year-old from Ocean Grove is now successfully managing her condition with a high dose of anti-epilepsy medication and prioritising her wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>Michaela, a real estate agent, is among the approximately 250,000 Australians who live with epilepsy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne in 25 people have epilepsy or will experience epilepsy at some stage in their life,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crazy to think how common it is and yet some people still don\u2019t know very much about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michaela is sharing her story in the lead-up to the Walk for Epilepsy which begins on October 1.<\/p>\n<p>Her goal is to walk at least 100km within 25 days and she has already outdone her fundraising goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 48 hours, I\u2019ve smashed my goal of $1000 so it\u2019s very humbling,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year has been really hard on everyone in one way or another but your faith in humanity is restored when stuff like this happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michaela is proof that having epilepsy is not a barrier to living a fulfilling life.<\/p>\n<p>She is married to husband Doug, has travelled both overseas and around Australia, has a rewarding career and holds a driver\u2019s licence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m lucky in the sense that my epilepsy isn\u2019t as severe as it could be,\u201d Michaela says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live the most normal life but I have epilepsy and, because I\u2019m one of the lucky ones, I need to be that voice for the people who do have 20 seizures a day and have permanent carers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michaela says coming to terms with the diagnosis was the hardest part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first started my medication there were early side effects like mood swings, weight gain and hallucinations,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>The fear of having a seizure also weighed heavily on her mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have a seizure every muscle in your body convulses so it\u2019s like you\u2019ve run a marathon 10 times over,\u201d Michaela says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou wake up and you are so dazed and you have no idea what\u2019s going on but not just that, you can\u2019t move your body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully she has not had a seizure since 2014 which she puts down to being vigilant with her medication, ensuring she doesn\u2019t get overtired and not exerting herself in hot weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m doing really well which is very exciting,\u201d Michaela says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always in the back of your mind but you just learn to live your best life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To donate or register for the Walk for Epilepsy around Australia go to <a href=\"http:\/\/epilepsyfoundation.org.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">epilepsyfoundation.org.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michaela Miller was a week away from turning 16 when she experienced her first epileptic seizure.
