Writing a Book about Women with Epilepsy
Sun, 05/26/2019 - 08:42Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi, everyone I'm Lorraine and I also have epilepsy. I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child and have multiple different seizures. Recently, my husband gave me the idea that I should share my story with the world through writing a book. I not only want to include my story but I want to write a book that focuses solely on all women around the world with epilepsy. Some examples could be Mothers with Epilepsy, Epilepsy during Pregnancy, young adult girls, Older Women and their life experiences...etc. I want to hear it all!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Since his birth (and discovery of the AVM) I’ve had stereotactic Radiosurgery and four more seizures (assuming as a side effect of swelling from the radiation.) My husband is active duty military and is often gone but is very supportive. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks!

I am very interested in your post. How is your book coming along? I also have epilepsy and am dealing with a lot and I think you should hear my story or read it in The NY Times. CPS illegally took my daughter from me for my medical condition. You can email executive.decisions.sf22@gmail.com
