Epilepsy - How much do you know?

As are all my previous videos, this is posted to raise awareness and educate people about Epilepsy and to reach out to those with Epilepsy.

Epilepsy is more common than we think and sadly, more serious than we realise.

In memory of all those who have lost their lives to Epilepsy, in honour to those who have lost loved ones to Epilepsy and with respect for those with Epilepsy today.

Thanks for watching :)

It's abit melodramatic, i mean i've got epilepsy, i can think of worse things to have.

"1000 people die a year in the UK because of epilepsy" maybe so but statistically you're more likey to die crossing the road.

"Epilepsy is hard to live with" On rare cases yes, but 70% of people with epilepsy there seizures can be completely controlled through medication.

I'm still having my seizures but they will be controlled. =]

Chin up people!

Insomix -

All your statistics are true, I agree. This video is a support video only. I'm glad you have a positive attitude toward your condition too, It's nice to see.

Take care and good luck!

@MockingVenus I wouldn't class them as friends in the first place but maybe try and educate them.

@insomix melodramatic? how would you like to loose all your friends because they're afraid of your seizures?

I know I'm late but thank you very much for posting this video!! It definitely put my life in perspective. I have Epilepsy and most of what you put in the video will help me educate my friends about it. I went through all the stages of medications and even opted to get brain surgery since my seizures were so severe. I realize I'm more blessed than most of the other cases out there and I owe it all to God who let me live 20 years instead of 2 weeks that were not promised to me!

A woman was thrown out of a bus while having a seizure!? CREEPS!!!!!!!

[Divinechaos1985]

Surely you will only die if you have a grand mal and fail to start breathing again.

Right? You can't die of you have absences and partial complex seizures right?

I have just had me first seizure after 6 years of been clear from my last one in 2004, it destroying, but me and many other people have to work out the triggers for their seizures this is the key to controlling epilepsy alongside medication. My triggers are stress and sleep deprivation, need to take care of myself more :)
