Living the life w/ epilepsy is a very hard lifestyle to live. Whether we like it or not. We at least have to tolerate iit . I've lived w/ epilepsy since I was 1 or 2 yrs of age . I've been on 85 % of the meds on the market, had brain surgery, and tried theVNS implant. Some have helped and some didn't do much to help. Just keep the hopes that there will be the right treatment to help us live an easier life.

I may of felt that way I my teenage years. But I have been dealing w/ my epilepsy for a near 40 yrs. now days I will and won't let epilepsy take control of me . I may have a few downer day where I may feel a little depressed , but I always come back fighting. Thinking about positive things and thoughts. I control my life not EPILEPSY. My spells aren't 100% controlled , but I keep fight to control my life. You get the point.
Hope you can do the same. Prayers to you man! Keep fighting Joshua

yes, and my seizures at this moment in time are stabilised. however, I still want to throw away the medication as I feel like it still controls my life. Try to focus on something positive in your life... if you like walking, think of parks, trees rustling in the wind and Autumnal colours. if you like the beach, think about the waves and sounds - its very therapeutic.

these helps me along with my grandson. he is the light at the end of my tunnel...

Me my self will fight it , and not let it win ... The way I see it , is like another challenge .... If you make a joke about it , and not let it win a depression problem . See it as a challenge to make a joke about it . That way you`d be able to win the battle .....

Def. Spent my life trying to end it. Its only recently that I have accepted living...its strange nothing has changed except my will to live.
