I'm new to posting stuff on forums so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I guess my story probably isn't too different from anyone elses. I've had temporal lobe lobe seizures my entire life but wasn't properly diagnosed until I was well into my 30's. I spent most of my life trying to find out what was wrong with me, why I was so messed up, different. I thought I would be relieved when I was finally diagnosed but I've been more isolated and miserabled. People fear epilepsy worse than if I told them I had the plague! I had to give driving, finally working and am now on disability. No one understand the type of seizures I have. They assume it isn't 'real' epilepsy or I can just stop it since I don't fall down and shake. Sorry..there's more I'd like to share but this is very depressing.
