Looking for a teenager to interview for a newspaper article about epilepsy.
Mon, 11/14/2005 - 12:51Topic: Teen Zone
My editor just let me know that the article's pub date has been pushed back to December or January -- this means I have more time to collect interviews. Any teenager or parent of a teen who would like to help spread epilepsy awareness, please email me at [email protected]. I'd like to interview you for an article in the Virginian Pilot.
Thanks,
Adrianne

It sucks i missed this, i would have loved to help. I need to find someplace in my school where i can help sread the awareness to my fellow students. It is hard for me to not be close friends with anyone that has epilepsy, i all i have is my normal friends and my parents. Most of my friends don't understand what it is, only the ones who have seen me have one.

My name is Cara and I'm almost 18years of age. I was 17 when i was diagnosed with first seizure epilpsy. In that time i've only ever had 2 main seizures and 1 were i was almost in the state of an attack. I am now on Epilim, 4 times a day. The doctors never have actually discovered i have epilpsy only traces of my attacks. I can tell when my seizures are coming on, and i usually won't get over the seizure fully for about 24hours. I can't drive until april, as i was told to wait 6months before being behind the wheel, and i don't drink anymore as it gives me headaches, leading to a seizure. I would really like to share with people what it's like living with epilpsy of what i can and can't do. Thanks... Cara xo
