Let's talk Epilepsy-geniuses in disguise

What if today you were told that those with Epilepsy were geniouses?  How would you react?  There was a time in history when they were.  I feel Epileptics are.  I think we need to readdress what they bring to all of us.  

Fear is a very common component of this experience.  Learning to move through the fear is very key.  Finding someone to help guide you in this is key.  There are many organizations, support groups, etc that are there as resources, use them.

If you have a story to share, insight to give or want to be heard, join me Tuesdays at 9 am.

The intention of this forum is to share information. For as long as epilepsy has been around it is amazing how little is known, understood and shared.  I have found the best places for information is through the Epilepsy Foundation's chat rooms, Epilepsy Facebook pages and local support groups. It is my hopes that this will become another place to support those who have or lend support to those with epilepsy.  

I am a newbie to this scene with my teenage daughter in her first year with epilepsy.  I am shocked at how difficult it has been to navigate the medical and educational systems.  Systems that should be supportive to this condition.  

So let's talk about epilepsy and share information that can help us all move forward.

Thank you to all who post information in forums.  Your wisdom and sharing has greatly benefited our family in coming to better understand epilepsy and all that goes with it.  

Call in and share. 909-202-8701
