I understand Im in junior high, and Im the only one who has partial complex seizures, it is definitely hard making new friends after they learned some of the things that happened to me :-)

hi gina, remembering back to those urs, i was pretty much a loner and i didnt do all that well in school. meds control thebrains ability to work..i was embarrassed by my epilepsy and i avoided everyone to avoid unkind words from others. i remember it being very hard to fit in with everyone and life in general but after awhile for some reason it didnt matter to me. as long as you can get up every day and do something productive for me and the world, the other little things dont matter...yes, you will think you have to work harder than most but nothing in life comes easy. my motto is " character. hard work equals charachter and the more you have , the better off you become.. stay well and live life.
