I suffered with Epilepsy for all of my life I’m 27 years old in my case Epilepsy Action do nothing all there semiars are the same and they will only help you if you ring them and push it, Yes it is good the hunter is getting a nurse as long as the nurse understands the Epilepsy doesn’t always got the was the medi books say it does. Get people working at Epilepsy Action that has Epilepsy we are the ones that really can to you what it is like to have a fit and wet your pants at the shops, school, night clubs, bed, or at your children’s friends 3rd birthday and everyone is running aroung and looking not knowing what to do. The be way to learn about Epilepsy is to talk to someone living with it.
living with Epilepsy is a harder then what people think you can not drive I can’t work as I fit about 3-4 time every 4 weeks my medication i take tree time a day make me tierd all the time I get head aches every 2-3 days when i can’t more my head.
we need to more to get awareness out people just think you are on drugs or drunk and don’t even drink and I have been kicked out of many clubs and pups for being drunk but I was having a fit.
Thank you
