New York Times Article on 2-20-07
Wed, 02/21/2007 - 10:50I don't know if anyone saw this, but there was a GREAT article in the New York Times yesterday. It was entitled "Battling Epilepsy, and It's Stigma" and describes a young girl with Epilepsy. Unforunately, it also goes into detail about her lack of response to most meds, the VNS implant that wasn't working for her, and information on the Ketogenic diet. It also describes the reluctance of many people to discuss the disorder.
Here is the link to the article:

It is quite fascinating, and at the same time very true, but sad.
