Sun, 08/28/2005 - 15:05Thx a million!
Anyway I have no choice,the only thing I can do is to take all these medicines over and over again and pray that maybe one day a genious doctor will find the remedy and let me and you as well living normal life...Maybe that is why I study English to be able to search things on webs with hope that I can find something my doctor does not know about!But till now I haven't found anything...
I am scared to death how can I have my own family,take care of a child or even be brave enough to decide to have a baby!Most people around me do not even realize I am sick so what i do in my life is mostly pretending to be someone I am actually not.in Poland epilepsy is the word you cannot even pronounce coz peple will run away immediately.They don't understand and definately don't support.Probably in USA it's different,you are all better informed and I would say you are more social.
Once I read a poem written by polish epileptic girl.I was crying and could not stop,it was like my own poem written by her hand.The good thing is (if there are any good things abotu it all) that I am not alsone sick and there are people,wherever that can understand,like you.
Thx,I believe that hope never ends...that is all I have.
Paola,sorry for mistakes again:)
I have had epilepsy for 36

I have had epilepsy for 36 and have had many seizures. I have gone through all of these things. I started with 25 seizures and 234 auras a month, and I am now down to one every other month. But I had to go through a hell of alot to get where I am today. There are other ways to help with epilepsy. diet, vitamins, surgery, VNS, ketogenic diet, Neurofeedback,......Omega three fatty acids Check out the support group for info in links and files and check out the personal stories of B complex and omega three. DOnt give up hope. Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/
