    What’s up, everybody? I’m bringing you an unreleased episode straight from the vault—recorded a few months back while I was under the weather, so bear with me on the coughing.

In this personal episode, I, Anthony, open up and take you inside my world, sharing an honest and unfiltered look at what it’s really like living with this complex and often misunderstood condition. From the warning signs that signal a seizure’s coming to the ways I manage the tough side effects of necessary medications, this is me.
