Hi, I was first taken in a seizure 30-Jan-00 but never knew what it was, no doc has diagnozed me as having epilepsy. Yet I started taking my medicine 02-Sept-03 (Carbamazipine & Phernobabitone) I have recorded great success nonethelesss. Nowadays it all starts with things like stress at work and I would become uncontrollable and easily irritable. I rarely convulse. I may need advise from members on how best I can have my situation addressed. Expert medical attention still far away from being a reality in my third country ZAMBIA

Hi Tibet,It's a Golden morning of the Savannah, Real Africa Zambia. How is America? I truly had a good working day and all went on just well.Once more I can't access the site on my browser, I may not know what is wrong. I have tried streaming it but an error message continues to appear. You may have to do me another favour by checking the right site ad.Yesterday I spoke to a few individuals who should be helping me in organizing the HOPE forum but tight schedules in their programs would mean an apparent delay. We set Saturday 24th April as the day for the organizing meeting and from there a date will be decided on the exact date of the forum. As of now I am working out the actual cost of the whole exercise and see how I can afford the expense.I will keep you informed,CHAD

Hi Chad.I just found this forum as well.I have a son with seizures and came looking for information.I read your post and am sorry about the way things are in your country.You seemed to have overcome the obstacles though,and sound like the sort of person who cares deeply and wants to spread knowledge.I think it's a great idea that you are thinking of and wish you well.I have heard a lot about the HOPE programme from friends of mine who are members of EFA and who post here as well.Will your forum be an open one like this ,or will members have to join? Have you thought about getting a free board,that way you will not have any expense.Will you send me details please?jocefreeman@hotmail.com

chad, good morning from the west coast of america!i hope your day went well and that you are healthy and happy today. i see i made a mistake and didn't copy the entire address of the web site. here it is. http://inside_out_graphics2.tripod.com/juderouslin/index.htmlin the next few weeks i should have an opportunity to get full text articles of the links of the work done in zambia. the links i sent were only abstracts (or summaries) my son is at university now and i should be visiting him. i will be able to access many articles through the university. it will be so interesting to hear about the forum you organize. i wish you success. if there is something i can do to help i would be very glad to do that. just let me know.
