Hi,
i'm grace, i'm 13 and I was diagnosed
a year ago with epilepsy. I was told that
I have petite mal seizures, but I had a
grand mal seizure a couple of days
ago.It's pretty scary, but you get over
your fear.

Hey adam , I have had epi since 1980. Im
43 yrs old now and still have it. I have
lived a normal life ever since then. Ive
allways took my medication and have not
had any problems as long as I have done
what the doctor has told me. In 1980 ,
all I had done was a eeg test witch came
out normal. I decieded to go back and
have a mri and they found a small mass but
they dont know what it is yet. Still have
to have some more test done. Make sure
they check you out real good. Times have
changed in 20 years.

Adam,
i'm 38 and had my first grandmal at 20
years of age and that was when the docs
finally diagnose me. Even though I was
having problems already.
Just make sure you take your meds and you
get enough sleep.

Hello I am 14 years old and just a month
ago my doctor told me I had recovered. I
was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 10
and have had 8 seizures since then. Even
though i'm not epileptic anymore, I still
have to take my meds for 2 more years.
For people who are scared of this, don't
be. Epilepsy is what you have, not who
you are.

My husband is 30, he's had it since he was
25. He's gone for a few years without
sz... But in the past 9 months has had
them increasingly. I'd say he averages
one a month. But has aura's almost every
day.
He'd write this homself, but he's
currently on a buisness trip. I miss him.

I am a 36 year old mom of two. I have had
epilepsy since I was 24. I have decided I
need to find a forum for support. I hope
this will be one.

I have had g~mal's since I was 13...They
stopped before having my son(when I was
about 24), started having daily aura's and
g~mal's 2-2.5 years ago and now experience
more nocturnal seizures than ever before.
I worked since I was 17 now currently on
leave without pay. I hope that they find
a drug that can clear all this up for good
(really can play a number on ones
emotions) thank goodness for the lord
giving me a wonderful husband and some
mighty fine friends and family.

My Boyfriend Has It Too !

Hello ! I'm kim also from england
(bournemouth) and my boyfriend was
diagnosed with epilepsy 8 months ago. He
was having auras almost everyday on and
off for about 2 years with 3 tonic-clonis
seizures in between. On the third, his
gp diagnosed him. The big seizures have
stopped altogether now, but the auras
still come back every month or so. He is
looking into different
medication/diet/sleeping patterns to stamp
it out altogether if possible. His gp
thinks his condition stemmed from birth
and only came about now (he is 2 . I'm only here
because he doesn't have the internet, but
he always reads my print-outs, it can be
lonely being the only one with it I
suppose.

33 years old here - I was diagnosed with
epilepsy at age 13, stemming from a head
injury I received when I was six. Ive
gone the rounds with the medicatoins -
phenobarb (ugh), dilantin (a little
better, but I had to take too much of
it...), tegretol (massive weight gain!)
and finally depakote (yayy!).
