Ione Upfold

BIO

I started having seizures and tics in November/December of 2021. It took over my whole life and ended up needing me to take time away from my studies to work on my health. I was studying musical theatre and had to stop. I have since been working, and coming to terms with my conditions. I have been struggling through Dr's appointments to get diagnosis. I have been working to learn about these conditions and how to help myself. It's an ongoing journey and I have recently taken the steps to start raising awareness for people like me.
