Esther Dzomb, from Msabaha in Malindi, Kilifi County, had her first epilepsy attack in Class Six. The 31-year-old mother of two recalls that the seizure attack was “around quarter past midnight.
When I regained consciousness, I had a bad headache and bruises in my mouth. I was surrounded by people. My sister, with whom I shared a bed, had panicked, screamed, and called neighbours.”
That seizure changed her life.
People suggested different modes of treatment. Some even claimed she was bewitched. “We went to KEMRI, Kilifi. We tried preachers and even traditional healers, but there was no change. I was devastated,” she narrates, adding that stigma from friends and relatives included thinking she had mental problems.
