Sean2 , everyone’s scenario is different on how they ended up with epilepsy. Not everyone is like the other.

My epileptic life story goes back to before I was even born so my mom did have to write a book about my life history.

I’m trying to get disability now. Last I heard they refused my request. It’s being resubmitted. It’s not easy. From what I’ve seen these question you to death before even doing anything it’s like they want your whole life history. I feel like they’re trying to write a book on me. but in case you don’t know, my disability is not just epilepsy. It’s hydrocephalus as well.
