hi , just read your reply to the teenage area about having migranes and not being diagnosed for years and being treated by family to snap out of it. I wanted to say how much I relate to this my family did the same thing . I started having sesires at 3 and my mum used to say i was week and didnot cope with life the doctor told her that i was doing it for attention so when ever i got sick and passed out she got mad at me and used to hit me around the face and say snap out of it just like you. 35 years latter i was in a doctors office and he saw me have a sesure he put me on his couch and rang my mum and she came to pick me up and he siad to her how long has your daughter had grand mals . she said she dosent she just cant cope with life and dose that . well he told her dont be stupid women this girl is eperleptic shes been having grand mals . well from that time I did get some medicaton. but do you know she still tells people that im week and cant cope with life. thought id just share that with you . hugs jasmine.
