Hi I was diagnosed with epilepsy 6 years ago, and would love to hear anyone elses stories about there experiences with epilepsy.

I had my first seizure as I was driving home from work, I crashed my car and was very lucky that I caused no harm to myself or anyone else. I dont remember anything what happened, just when I woke up from my seizure, and found that I was lucky to be alive. I was taken to hospital and I woke up three days later, after having another 4 seizures, a brain scan and my family was a total mess. I am now on a medication called lamotrigne which I take 100mg per day. Ive been free from seizures for 6 years all is fine now.

Please tell me all about your stories with epilepsy, how you coped with coming to terms with it, medication and your like after
