I Woke Up Paralysed From The Waist Down At 19 | BORN DIFFERENT

This really made me 😢 I have multiple sclerosis and I found out because I became paralyzed basically overnight and I was 19. I’m so happy she’s trying to live her life and she’s not letting her disability control her. People don’t know how lucky they are and instead of judging, they should be thankful!! I think it’s so disrespectful to tell someone “they don’t look disabled” but there are people in the world that can’t help themselves. I really hope she gets control of her seizures. They look so scary and extremely dangerous 😢

I used to be epileptic and it's scary before and during a seizure. I had brain surgery about seven years ago. Been seizure free since

Several seizures captured within this little bit of time and she leaves us all with a smile on her face Man I pray she gets EVERYTHING she needs and wants in this lifetime to make it a safe and fulfilling one. She deserves it. What an inspiration

It’s really amazing that dogs have the ability to recognize seizures and when they’re happening. Ugh what an awful thing to go through and live with. But what incredible strength to continue to do so and to share her story. I can’t imagine suffering from this, but even more so to be continually called a liar and not believed about something happening to you. That has to probably be the worst part

Dogs are amazing. So is this girl. She's strong, and she's pretty. Wish the best for her x

Omg this is so crazy! I’ve just been referred to a functional neurologist because I suddenly became paralyzed too!!! Some of my symptoms come and go but my weakness has developed all over my body. I’ve been undiagnosed for over a year and a half now. It’s been such a devastating life changing event. Nobody knows what’s wrong with me and now I’m also being referred to a place that deals with mysterious illness. Sending all my love and support to all those who are suffering 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

Wow this just broke my heart. I’m so sorry this happened to her but I’m so proud of her for still living life to the fullest 💜

All people who say/think "they don't look disabled" need a reality check! I've got a degenerative disease that causes a lot of pain and cluster headaches which are insane and although I don't look disabled I am not ok. Just remember there is a big net of what's disabled from not too bad to really severe but all deserve compassion and respect.

She is so beautiful inside and out and have so much strength and brave and amazing inspiring and god bless her and incredible unique and strong positive sprits and proud of her for sharing her story ❤️✨❤️

I can't imagine going through something like this. It also made me angry that people judge you because you quote "don't look sick." Well, I have disabilities being born with a birth defect. On the outside, to many people, I look fine. They don't know what I deal with medically. Same with you. You never know what someone is going through. Bless you and thank you for sharing your story.

Warrior woman! She's so strong to live that struggle and look that good at the same time!!

I used to have frequent seizures so the statement she made about trying so hard to not let it happen really hit home. I know how that feels. They used to come on at the least convenient times. I had more out in public than at home which was VERY embarrassing due to having bladder and bowel incontinence nearly every time I seized. Never qualified for a dog or anything to help though. Not was I ever paralyzed. Temporarily maybe but never long term.

A very brave young lady. Puts my life in perspective. I was having one of my pity party days for myself today and saw this video. Good reminder to count my blessings and be grateful for my health.

Love her and her mum for being so brave and being there for each other. I suffered a stroke close to 10 years ago, and have still not regained all of my ability, I don't think I ever will. But it's all about getting better and never losing hope. Please try and incorporate as many movement based activities as you can in your lifestyle. The brain recovers miraculously with it, trust me. Iam a dancer, and do have progressive peripheral neuropathy, but dance has helped me maintain control of my extremities. As much as is possible. Good luck to you, beautiful woman💜

I'm so sorry to see what you're going through, but I'm glad you overcame the obstacles of not walking. I hope you keep fighting for your health, I know you have it in you.

She's such an inspiration. Her spirit is unbreakable. But my heart breaks for her mother. 😢

I can completely relate to what she is going through. In March of 2018 I slipped into a coma for almost a month. The doctors told my grown kids that my brain wouldn’t stop swelling, and for them to plan my final expenses. I was blessed that I came out of the coma, but quickly found out that I now suffer from seizures and panic attacks. I have had times when the seizures caused me to not be able to walk, or function normally. I pray for the both of us that doctors will find something that will stop our seizures, and my serious panic attacks. 🙏

Her strength and beauty is overwhelming. She is a true inspiration for us all. Thank you for sharing this with us. You're incredible 💗

It always makes me mad when people say, "you don't look disabled." You never know what's going on in someone's life, so I don't think it's okay to say that someone doesn't look disabled.

Thank you for having the courage to show your seizures with FND. You have a disability but aren’t defined by it - much love x
