Ok I have read a lot of posts and comments of people who were injured and diagnosed with epilepsy
OR those that were diagnosed in there teens or 200
What I would be interested in is how many on this site were born with epilepsy OR diagnosed before the age of 10 years old.... parent or kid or family member
I ask this because it because I find for me anyway that I have been able to accept it easier
Try having seizures all your life at age 18 month old and now age 52 year-old . but I had cluster seizures all kind of seizures how terrible is that!
I was born with epilepsy. I had a febral seziure when i was 6 months old and had a grand mal when i was 8. I had partials all the time but my doctor didnt know what it was untill my grand mal so it went undiagnosed for years
Diagnosed age 5. I agree that those of us who had it since we were young accept it as "normal" and don't have the struggles that patients who had it onset in their teens or later ages.
I have had epilepsy since I was 8. Had to learn by living through it but that's what made it easier to except it. Life may have been hard but learning is what also made it easier as I grew up.
I was born with it. Diagnosed at about 3 years old.
