Lupus and Epilepsy
Sun, 11/19/2006 - 12:59Topic: Teen Zone
Hi!
I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Frontal Lobe Epilepsy approximately two months ago. However, I have also just been diagnosed with Lupus and was wondering if anyone else out there has both Epilepsy and Lupus (S.L.E.)? If so, does your Lupus make your Epilepsy worse?
I am just concerned about this because I know that Lupus (S.L.E.) can affect the brain and nervous system.
Thanks a lot! :)

It really bothers me when I hear that.
"My family member has a serious illness. They fake it a lot."
I don't understand that mindset. How can you know that someone you love has a serious illness and not take their pain seriously. =(
It really upsets me to hear that. It sounds very calloused and unkind.
