i don't hate my life as much as i hate this bitch ass doctor who yanked me off klonopin and caused a grand mal seizure which rendered me partially paralyzed and with generalized epilepsy and the fact that i can't get another doctor to put on paper, that him discontinuing me from a mountain of benzos started this shit in the first place.

so i want to kneecap this punk ass but i can't flee the scene fast enough because of my paralysis, any suggestions????

I have to agree. This curse cost me a great career and landed me with a dead end job that has no future and half the pay.

I was Born with EPILEPSY and am now 51yrs old!! YES, of course I HATE my LIFE., But I have grown to KNOW that Just because I have "Grand-Mal" Seizures , that I AM NOT A STUPID PERSON!! YES, I had my Fair Share of being CALLED "STUPID" and other 4 letter words when I was in School and Married. But one day I came to and heard my EX calling me down because of a Seizure I had., and said to myself..., "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" and got rid of her. My Son ALWAYS STOOD by my Side., Talked to me, and would NEVER let ANYBODY come near me , as did my Dog!! My Son and I Talk EVER NIGHT on the Phone., my Dog has died of Brain Cancer., and my EX is someplace in Canada., where I don't Know and Don't CARE!! so YES., I live ALONE

I have Lost both my Drivers and Pilots License. FUNNY THING IS., when I was in my Pre-Teens , I was wanted my CLASS1's so I could haul logs., Then when I got them in my late 30's to Haul Equipment around..., I was SACRED TO DEATH !!

Was able to Keep them up until 1994 when I drove a SEMI thru a "DINING ROOM" and Shortly before that I backed OVER a Car with a Dozer. LUCKILY I didn't HURT or KILL anybody but MYSELF!! I am now PERMEANT-RETIRED and live off a Disability fUND., BUT YA KNOW WHAT...,,"I WOULD'NT WISH "EPILEPSY" on my Worst Enemy!!
