well again addressing the agent orange epilepsy connection it is doubtful. You probably would have got it even if dad wasnt exposed top this weedkiller. Even if you kenw for a fact that it did cause epilepsy ,what would you do then? sue?

even if you knew without a doubt that agent orange causes epilepsy in offspring ,what would you do? This is something that cannot be proven and almost without question ther is no connection. You have epilepsy because you are unlucky. You do not deserve it or anything just accept it.

I was 34 years old when I was diagnosed with Epilepsy. I had never experienced seizures until then. They started off as petit mal seizures and then the grand mal seizures started.
