I need this place

Mon, 11/20/2006 - 15:39
Hi everyone, My name is Phil and I just found this place today, about 5 minutes ago. There are lots of things I can't wait to ask/talk/hear about on here. Truth is, I need this place right now. I had my first seizure when I was 23 and have had a couple more since then. I guess I kind of never thought these would effect me as much as they have. I mean psychologically and through medications as well. Anyway, I look forward to meeting some of you and hearing your stories. What I hope to gain from this is the feeling that I'm not alone I guess. Thanks, Phil

Hi Phil, and welcome to the site ! And no, you are definitely not alone !! This is a wonderful place to ask questions, share experiences and meet new friends. I never really understood epilepsy until I joined this site. Hope to see you in the chatroom one of these evenings.

Welcome Phil, :) Glad you found this place. Here you will meet people with many types of seizures, people whose children have epilepsy, people who have been on different meds (some whom are controlled) and people in various stages of E testing.. even E surgery patients. I'm with Barbie :).. hope to see you in the chat room one of these evenings. ~sol
