Hi, I live in the Pittsburgh, PA area and was wondering if anyone would be either willing to talk for awhile through emails that would be understanding of what I am going through and would also want to meet up in real time? I have been dealing with seizures practically my entire life and I am at the point where I am sick and tired of having them and also lost and confused on how to deal with them for the rest of my life unless I just give up on everything and take very bad risks in my life. My doctor finally told me that I am not a candiate for either surgery or devices and that I can only have less frequency of seizures on the pills, which is fine and all, but I feel like my life is missing. I feel as if the puzzle to my life is never going to be complete if I cannot start living my life without these seizures controlling and standing in my way forever.

I live in Pittsburgh too.I'm new to the the website and I really don't know how things work on it yet.  I'd like to talk but I'd rather not give you my email address  on a community forum, not that I don't trust anyone..  If you want to talk let me know.
