Story:
Trysten’s story of epilepsy begins with a diagnosis of Grand Mal-Tonic Clonic Seizures and a mild heart condition, Sinus Arrhythmia, at age 12 in August 2013 while visiting family in Huntsville, Texas. After his diagnosis, he found that having epilepsy was not easy to talk about with others which left him feeling alone and excluded.
