Hello.
I'm Liz, I am almost 16 and i have probally have had around 12 seizures since i was diagnosed at the age of 7. I have been looking to find someone i can relate too. Where i live i know no one else that has epilepsy so it is hard to not have anyone who knows what you are going through. A lot of immature students in my school think someone having a seizure is funny and they joke about it. There are some who I know and love because they are my friends and support me. I had a seizure in front of them once and scared the shit out of them all. If you ever would like to contact me you can at fatcatroseys@hotmail.com
