Epileptic fits being no more than a mood swing under stress? Is this possible?

I think Lee has said what needed to be said. Far better than I ever will. As he says he reads what's written,and why.He formed his own opinion and read from all sides,and sources,then decided himself what was fact and fiction.I'm adding that he's right in saying that it's easy to judge,and want what's written to be that,to be misrepresented,and in ways the author of the post wants it to be.That's something Lee has pointed out already in this thread.
A phrase that comes to mind here Jude is,' Not what is seems', to get across messages that contained hidden metaphors.Done,while travelling these boards you speak of-laptop in hand at times.For a purpose that we both are well aware of why.Which is a shame as
there was no need. You formed a judgement. Lee didn't.He can, and has been judged by himself and others. So has Harish-who's Indian and lives within a society were everyday he's judged quite simply because he has what's considered to be something shameful(epilepsy)Mona was judged because her own specialist wouldn't listen. Sitting in judgement is easy to do,a reason I wish you well with,and hope that you don't get judged about,I hope you both find acceptance,not judgement.I hope the words of Lee were read and understood for that reason.For it seems lately that a lot of forums are asking for understanding through judgement calls made by others.I hope they get it.

They are asking for understanding pip. I hope that there is-for those that want it as badly as they do. I'm reading on another board, it's wanted, and they are going all,'out,' to explain why.I hope that one day Harish finds acceptance,and his way to that board.For anyone interested (they could read them over the tea,and coffee maybe?)then the first link shows what women in Harish's society have to put up with when diagnosed with epilepsy,how they are judged(it paints a really good picture.)Acceptance is what his mother wants for him,that's very easy to give.So it is to get a message across,if you have a laptop,it will travel anywere.When I did all the reading I did,I looked for understanding and found it's easy at times being an elephant in the room when you already have the example to work off.As it was to offer excuses that used epilepsy as an excuse to judgement call others.

Skyscape,I hope that your wait is an easy one,that you are seen soon by one that knows,and when you are,that you find acceptance and peace of mind about what tests and treatment you need.I hope you get acceptance and understanding,and not a judgement.

Wonderwoman2.
I have checked it out myself and this is the address for it.As you say,there are posts within that forum as you have described.There were last time I read it.I have read it again before posting,and cannot find any disclaimer at all upon that site regarding giving of advice.As I cannot upon the site owned by Tibet2 either.
http://elliott.hmc.washington.edu/winetpubdiscus/
Regarding people entering forums Jude,and using more than one name.I have a question or two for you.Can I ask you Jude why you yourself found it neccessary to join this one under two names,and also why you were in here last night- along with Tibet2 ,for various lengths of time and kept leaving and returning as you did the pair of you.Are you working together,if so then why?
Also in your third reply in this thread,you yourself have a made what appears to be remarks that could be construed,again wrongly by anyone that reads them,as well as being a medical diagnosis.I,myself am a member of Bridgette Sullivan's new forum,and she has for a long while been involved in raising awareness of SUDEP,which I fully support.Which there is a 'need' for raising awareness of. Does this mean that because of that we are suffering from some sort of psychological illness,and that anyone who does join her board-using just one name has to prove to her their diagnosis of epilepsy to post on there,or in here first. Her members consist of people who post in more than one forum.Bridgette herself is a respected member of EFA.She was also banned unfairly from the board that Tibet2 owns.
