I live in Michigan in the United States. I live in a pretty rural area which is nice but there is little support available if I want to meet others who share the struggles I have with epilepsy. It is quite lonely. Like you expressed it is nice to have a website to visit and share.My perception of Ecuador is of a rural habitat. Is this accurate? I assume your "disease" is epilepsy? What kind of treatment is available for you? Keep reading and researching. I hope others can share your enthusiastic understanding of what you discover. Are you sure it is not a common disease? If you can find a comfortable way to open up and tell about it you may find others who are shy about telling about it.
