To Drink or Not To Drink
Thu, 04/26/2007 - 00:25Topic: Teen Zone
Haha... a few days ago I went drinking. It's like so bad for my epilepsy thing. I give up. I don't care to take care of this seizure thing when I'm having a fun time. Ya, it's dangerous for me, but I don't care! Epilepsy can't stop my fun. Everyone likes having fun right? This epilepsy thing, it's not in control of my life cuz I choose things in my life for myself. I'm with friends so they'll know what to do when I have a seizure. It's not like I went drinking by myself.Anyone here objects this drinking thing? Because you can try going drinking and pretend that nothing would happen and that you don't have seizures just like me.

Hey Sophs, I know exactly how you feel 100%. I'll admit it, I like to go out and have a few drinks with some friends, but then I tend to go over board and have to many. And it seems that every time I drink, within a week of consuming the alcoholic beverages, my body and my pills react and I have a seizure. So I dont think its a good idea. You dont have to listen to all the people who've written back to your post, but I personally dont think you would have written it if you didn't want to know what they had to say. So I think you should at least take this stuff into consideration. -Aaron
