Seeing someone with epilepsy

Well I think it would be very helpful to know someone and care for someone that has epilepsy just like you. You each will be understanding of each other alot. The only concern I would have is driving situations and getting around for both of you for you both dont drive. But if you live in the city then you will have no problems. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa

I think it would be a good idea to be with someone that has epilepsy. They would understand to the fullest how, and why,and everything. It is hard to explain ALL your feelings to someone that doesnt have it. You would understand everything about that person and your relationship would be even deeper than the usual. I wish you all the blessings in what ever decisions that you make

It can only be a problem if both of you want it to be.That, or one of you wants to make it an issue.You both seem to have discussed being around each other,as you have the issue of seizures happening around each other-what's involved with that.For as the replies in the thread point out so far,you are talking about how your seizures affect each other as individuals,and as part of a couple.That's half the battle won.Your worst case scenario would be if one wanted to talk,and the other didn't- that can happen.People get caught up in their own stuff,the baggage with that,or ego kicks in,and they are off and running on the ego trip-or sitting on a site somewhere diagnosing others.It's so easy to  forget the other party may have things they want to discuss that matter to them.We read so often how people are going to react if a seizure occurs, or if  they see a seizure -what will their reaction be.Should they be told ? should the ones closest to us bear the burden? We forget they might be  all willing to try and understand if we let them?You both have done that.I for one applaud you both and wish you well.
