I wanted to take a moment to share my situation with you. Last March, just two days after my 59th birthday, I experienced my first-ever seizure. It was a major one that landed me in the hospital, and a CT scan revealed something shocking - a gigantic Arachnoid cyst in my skull. That seizure, it seems, “woke up” this monster, and now I live with its effects every day.
The cyst has brought with it a slew of symptoms: daily dizziness, blurred vision, and a long list of challenges that have reshaped my life. I also experience mild seizures nearly every week, which can be unsettling, especially when they happen in public.
My BRECK iD bracelet is going to make a real difference for me. It will help me communicate critical information to others during these episodes, easing the anxiety of being misunderstood or unable to explain what’s happening.
As a bit of an unusual twist, I’ve been told that I have the largest known Arachnoid cyst in the world right now. I’ve enclosed an image that might give you an idea of what I’m dealing with - I thought you might find it interesting.
Thank you so much for creating something that not only helps people like me but also gives us a sense of safety and support when we need it most.
Sincerely,
Eric K
