The conversation follows Joss Fleming, who began experiencing seizures at the age of 16, initially attributing them to déjà vu. Over time, the seizures escalated, leading to a notable incident during a vacation. Medical evaluations revealed the presence of a Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour causing epilepsy. After attempting various medications and enduring up to 15 seizures weekly, Joss underwent two surgeries in 2011. The procedures took place at the National Hospital and incorporated advanced imaging techniques, effectively halting the seizures. Despite post-surgery challenges, including swelling, Joss recuperated and enthusiastically embraced life, even participating in daring activities. Regular checkups and MRI scans are now part of Joss's ongoing healthcare routine. Joss encourages others not to let medical conditions hinder their pursuits and highlights the significance of consulting medical experts while chasing their goals.
