Advantages: None.

Disadvantages: Kills.

I will start off by saying I myself do not have epilepsy but I once had a boyfriend who did. Every night he would have a fit and it would scare me because I did not know what to do or expect.

After talking to my boyfriend he told me that if he had a fit I was to just leave him and he would come out of it on his own.I found he only had fits when he was asleep so when we out together I knew he was safe.

I slowely learned that if I wanted us to be together I had to accept his faults. Dont get me wrong Im not saying having epilepsy was his fault because it was not.

Anyway on the seventh of may 1999 I recieved a phone calling telling me my boyfriend was dead after I found out I was so lost. I never got the chance to say goodbye or sorry as we had argued.

After waiting for several months there was an inquest in to how he had died the coroner explained he had been takening his tablets as recommened but his last fit had been to much for him to take and he had died.

Epilepsy is a silent killer and I urge anyone out thatplease make the most of what you have because one day it may not be there anymore.You may never get the chance to say goodbye.
