HELP
Sun, 05/20/2007 - 15:50Topic: Teen Zone
My name is Hannah Kate and I was just recently diagnosed with epilepsy. I lived with what I didn't know were seizures for almost three years. Everything happened very publicly because the majority of my seizures happened at school so everyone knows. That doesn't bother me so much because we're so close to the end of the school year.
I'm more worried about my boyfriend and side effects from the Topamax I'm taking. If anybody has any advice for me that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Hannah Kate
