Coincidence? How Many People Do You Know With Epilepsy? Posted: 08-08-03 22:54pm
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in nov.
Up to that point I was having head
twitches every few weeks and suspected it
was caffeine. I know that sounds
crazy, but true i'm in the coffee business
and consume a lot of caffeine. Then on
thanksgiving I had a grand mal, thankfully
I had got my children to the family
gathering safely and there were loved ones
by my side.
Two weeks before I discovered I had
epilepsy, my neighbors 6 year old son was
diagnosed with epilepsy as well.
About a month and a half ago my
neighbors,( the same one) dog had a
seizure.
Am I crazy or is this way to weird?
We live near a very long line of
electrical towers and the plant is in our
neighborhood.
We suspect this might have something to do
with it.
Do you or anyone you know have this
experience?
I don't know what to do now. Any
suggestions? When I mention it to
doctors, they just brush it off, my
neighbor is experiencing this same brush
off as well.
There is also what seems to me a high rate
of cancer.
Maybe i'm paranoid, that's why I am
wondering how many people you know who
have epilepsy? Before I was diagnosed I
knew no one but my neighbor.
I don't know where to turn for help.

Angie,
i don't know if the nuclear power plants
have a connection, but I can tell you that
they have been demonstrated to cause
cancer. You seem to know a lot of folks
with epilepsy, maybe it's destiny?? Or
your area?
