Thu, 12/07/2006 - 10:37Topic: Teen Zone
I'm new to this website, and to my diagnosis. I'm 17 years old, and i've already accomlished so much in my lifetime. i'm a senior and i also plan on joining the United States Air Force after graduation. but now, i don't know if that's gonna happen. Yesterday i got diagnosed with grand mal. my doctor didn't tell me much about it except what i can do and what i cant do. I do realize that what i have is hereditary and i that i've shown symptons since i was the age of 5. but no one really thought to do something about it. i'm writing this to see if there is someone that can help me get through this, and explain to me what excactly Grand Mal is. If you can help me i will be eternally grateful, and for all those who read this thank you for taking your time in reading my story.
