Hi Concerned,
Don't feel alone believe it or not 2.5 million people have epilepsy just in the U.S. and every yr 188 thousand new cases are starting up. Epilepsy is growing like crazy and some of the reason is because diabetes is increasing and that can cause sz. for some people.
There are a lot of famous people who have epilepsy also. Elton John, Einsteen, Danny Glover, Bethoven, Edgar Allen Poe and many others.
I feel that people who have epilepsy can live a normal everyday life with no problems once they get used to it. It's the other people in the world that need to get educated on epilepsy so they won't be so afraid of a sz.
Here's wishing You Well and May God Bless You!
Sue
