I have no problem telling people I have Epilepsy. If they want to know more about It , I will . If they don’t , I don’t care what they think. If I Seizure in public, I just go on my way like nothing happened. Now if someone were to ask if I’m alright , I would respond back to them, that I’ll be ok and thank them.

I have learned and coped to the harsh world 🌎 and I don’t give a crap. This will alway be apart of my life and the many people out there are ignorant and fear what they don’t understand. I just don’t worry about them because I also have friends who do understand to an extent. That’s all that matters.

To everyone discussing gender distribution of Epilepsy. The bottom line is; the occurrence of Epilepsy is similar for both genders. However, since there are over 40 different types (brain location + cause), of Epilepsy, some are determined by gender. For example, there are 5 different seizure types in women specifically caused by female hormone activity. Please look at widely published scientific papers if you wish to learn more. And lastly, lets all fight a good fight against Epilepsy as team mates against a horrid enemy.

Shawn, I agree and I still do in 60 yrs but if get to know person real good like my brother I will say, Cause one time I did tell someone and he ask me do I drive and I said yes and been 23 yrs sz free and he said I still shouldnt drive and I hurt and heart drop when he said that,But its ok for drunks, heart attack or fall asleep at wheel to get back on the road so now I say nothing. Us people with ep are always put down no matter what I feel whats your opinion on that
