You fear having a seizure....

You fear having a seizure.... WHY??? What did you do before ever having a seizure?? Were you [physical?? What did you do?I was physical and did everything other people did. In other words I didn't stop playing basketball or running or climbing mountains or fossil hunting. Yes I used common sense and went with other people but stopping the things I loved doing I did not do. Heat can trigger a seizure in some people. It does in me. I had to stop working in a career I loved because getting to hot to fast can trigger a seizure. That doesn't mean I stopped cooking. It also doesn't mean I haven't had a seizure while cooking. But it means I did not let my epilepsy and seizures control my life. It meant I controlled my life and my seizures. I checked with my neurologists and they agreed that what I have been doing is what everybody else does. Control their life.
