Entry Description

After having experienced multiple seizures, doctors subjected me to countless tests. EEGs, blood work, heart monitoring, cardio tests, various medications, and so on. I was repeatedly poked and prodded, but every test came back clean. Lab Rat is a retelling of the process that became a constant cycle in my life—one of hoping to discover what the trigger for my seizures was but receiving no conclusive results. This publication contains some of my seizure stories, addresses my memory loss, and details other related experiences I had on my arduous journey towards a meaningful resolution.
