Do You Wear Diapers?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

If you had frequent grand mal seizures would you wear diapers when out in public?

Wow. I don't want to face that issue. But the answer would be yes. The seizures are humbling enough. Soiling oneself in public makes it so very much worse. On every level. I would invest in Depends - well, generic ones!! ;-)

I never had to wear one but would've been nice back in high school. My favorite subject was band but also my worse nightmare. Because I don't know if it was a seizure and/or temporary stress incontinence. I had several accidents when I was younger. Also my seizure disorder was from a traumatic brain injury from when I was around 4 and now I'm almost 32.
