Epilepsy Song & Interviews

Tue, 02/13/2018 - 09:38
I am writing a song and doing interviews about living with epilepsy. It's for school and I would really really appreciate your help! If you have any lyrics you would like me to use in my song you'll get credit, and if you want to contribute to the interview just go ahead and answer as many or as little of these questions as you want. Thank you! When were you diagnosed? Are you on medication? (If so please name them and how often you take them) Have you found it difficult to live with epilepsy/does it get in the way? What is your favorite thing to do despite having epilepsy? How long have you had epilepsy? Have you ever seen someone else have a seizure? How many other people do you know in real life that also have epilepsy?

Diagnosed:  Had seizures all

Diagnosed:  Had seizures all my life (>50 yrs) but diagnosed with epilepsy maybe at 14. Medication:  Dilantin three times daily and Briviact twice daily.One big way living with epilepsy interferes is that is that employers are afraid to hire me despite infrequent seizures.Enjoy woodwork and doing all the things doctors suggest I not do.I have seen others have seizures but not often.Don't know any others with epilepsy.
