My Life With Epilepsy or Should I Say No Life?

Thu, 11/11/2010 - 06:55
I used to have a life. A real life, even with epilepsy undiagnosed from childhood. When I started to have bigger problems than I thought I could cope with on my own, I went to the doctor for help. That was the biggest mistake in my life. The rest is history and current events. I started a blog, partly to save my own life. I think it has. I'm alive and kicking (lol, the seizures make me do that). Please read it if you want to know my story. I would love to hear from the rest of you on this site. I complain about this site a lot and many of you probably wonder why I'm here. I'm here because of all of you. Thanks and I'm looking forward to your comments.

Hello Everyone, I am still mourning the death of the old Ecstatic Seizures Forum. I really miss hearing from the people whom I came to consider friends. I would love to hear from you here. I would also love to hear from the new people I am meeting on the other fora on which I started posting. I look forward to the conversation. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.

Marry, Thank you so much. I remember your posts from the other forum. It's pretty scary to be in this epilepsy thing alone. Being a parent is difficult, but rewarding. Hashem has blessed you with a family. I pray that He will allow you see your children have families of their own. There is much to love about the winter and much to loathe. I don't have a favorite season. I love the light, but I hate the heat. I do a lot of praying too. It's the only thing that gets me through. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na. Without Him, there is nothing.
