After years of health struggles, the parasites have now calcified in Lowri’s brain.
“I’ve not had any surgery to actually take them out of my brain,” she said. “Apparently they just sort of die down and they calcify basically. So at this point they are now calcified.”
Dr Healy said Lowri had received treatment to “kill all the eggs and happily now seems to be out the other end”.
She has not had a seizure since 2017 but will remain on epilepsy medication for the rest of her life.
Lowri, who now lives in Cardiff, said she was determined something positive comes from her ordeal.
“What I want to do now is progress in my life and spread awareness of this disease and do something positive with it,” she said.
“You don’t know what’s around the corner… I’m happy to be alive and healthy and fit again and I never take that for granted.”
