Wow! As I read...I am brought to tears. The reason being is that I too was recently diagnosed and also said to be very intelligent but always wondered...why me? why do I have these episodes? What do I do to stop them? I am on new medication that seems to help some however due to peoples ignorance concerning this particular disorder...I am mistreated. I always wonder...why???? why me? will I ever have a "normal" life???? thanks for your posts.....
