Tuberoussclerosis TSC2

The story of Mary

I had a normal childhood until I started having seizures in my sleep. I began to have them awake too. I had petite mal, grand mal, abdominal, and simple partials. No doctor could pin down why and none of the Anti Epileptic Medications worked too well. At 35 I had genetic testing to find I have TSC2 or Tuberousclerosis. A very mild form of the mutation. I got the calcifications or non cancerous tubers in a few parts of my brain but I didn’t get the skin tubers and kidney and eye issues that go along with this rare disease. I got brain surgery in 2014 and now I only have 1 kind of seizure every few months if that. That is my story.
