You Control Epilepsy

Epilepsy doesn't control you! It's part of your life, but not your life. Ten percent of people with epilepsy are candidates for surgery... possibly curing them. This is my good fortunate after 22 years of seizures. Learn more at nyufaces.org and epilepsy.com.

this was neat to here that your surgery worked for you. I had the same surgery and finally got my license at 25 but now only 27 and had 4 seizures since then but my last time behind the wheel I had what I thought was an aura so i immediately pulled over but no seizure. now i am so paranoid to drive so i take the bus but feel like i never had the surgery-it scared me that much and no one is willing to help.good true 'friends'...

Sounds like a good idea not driving for a while and if any "friend" has a problem with that--it's their problem not yours and clearly they are not a friend. You don't need them. Remember, epilepsy may be part of your life, but it is not your life. There's so much more! Keep up the good work!

thank you for responding, it is nice to here something positive for once. the few 'friends' i have, all they say is 'can you drive yet?'. so to me their just acquaintances not friends. out here the time period is seizure free for 3months yet its only been a week and their already asking if i can drive, or my sister said shell give me rides but when she has a hissy fit like a child she ignores my calls and only will help if money is involved. so thank you for your confidence! : )
