We are not supposed to give advise on how this affects others, because everybody who has this compliant is affected ...

I would just like to point out that this review is based on my personnal experience. And holds the sort of information I would have liked to be told by the doctors, not the actual medical jargon they came out with. Thank you My six year old son Michael has epilepsy. I remember his first big seizure vividly, he was four ...

As I wrote earlier I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 6. I will go into a bit more detail if it helps anyone who reads this. The first time I had a seizure I didn't know what was going on, I woke up went to get a glass of water and I dropped the glass and my dad came running, I couldn't see anything, only hear his terrified ...

A little over a year ago, I came out of my bathroom. (What an opening sentence, eh? I bet you're hanging on my every word...) The next thing I can remember was being helped into an ambulance and being taken the 16 miles to my local hospital (passing, on the way, the much nearer Kidderminster Hospital, which had been insanely downgraded shortly ...

Epilepsy. The very word still carries a stigma and can create fear.

Um… there's a rather graphic description just following, so be warned. Bear with me though, it turns out alright in the end. A long, long time ago I was living with a man called Mark.

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 ...

Seeing someone take an epileptic can be a frightening experience, so I thought I would take a few minutes to explain a few things about epilepsy.

Her lifeless eyes stared back at him as he crouched in front of her. His daughter was slumped in front of him, the remains of a tear stroking her cheek. He was aware of his wife crying hysterically and people crowding round, shouting, questioning, but all he could see was her eyes, staring. She’d been a lively girl all through her ...
