I'm sorry to hear that Brian.

Although unlucky in other aspects, there have never been any case of epilepsy in my family. To my knowledge, only one classmate had epilepsy, and he got the proper meds & treatment for it. I never saw him have an epileptic seizure.

When she hit menopause with drugs the seizures pretty much subsided. But it wasn't fun seeing that for the first time not knowing what it was.

Now my Neurologist says I cannot drive...and just like that, change. Now i have to rely on others to get me around. With that, i am now on short term disability from my employer. That will be solved soon as my employer is working on plans so I can work from home. Hopefully they will get it figured out soon. I get bored easily...all I can do is wait.

When i am bored i do something productive, that helps me in a way. Whether its talking to someone online or looking for a new job, i do something. You could watch DBZ DVDs, i love them.
