I had also scraped bottom -for about 3 yrs, until I had a child that turned 5 & then the surgery. I would have my seizures at night when sleeping, no other time. I was angry that it could happen to me, exhausted, and felt helpless. I got a pet &  I believe he is what saved my life. No matter what, I would have to get out of bed and take care of him.  Irregardless, he was always there for me know matter what was, had, or about to happen. I know how scary it is & i am sorry for what you are going through. You are in my thoughts.

Hi 1never,

I am so sorry that you are going through a difficult time right now. I know how frustating it can be to have seizures that are not controlled.  However, my recommendation is when you start to feel upset, try to think of the last few positve things that have happened to you. Always remember the seizures are just one problem in your life and that while they may never go away, with the help of your doctor you can fight back.  Don't let the epilepsy beat you, you beat the epilepsy!

I'll drag my naked butt over a half mile of broken beer bottles before I give up.
