I'm 47yrs and diagnosed at 19. It was awkward at first because it's like where this come from. I had seizures around alot of people in different situations, happy to say in last 4yr my dr. has help get better control of them.😇

I am getting used to it and accepting that I have to creat a new normal for me and I agree attitude is incredibly important. Say I can, say I can't either way you're right. It's been challenging to accept all the things I can't do. Just flipping in my mind is a process 🙃💜

I'd say yes. Like several, I don’t really think about it as I've had it all my life. Like @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I had great parents who raised me right, & I was # 3 of 4 brothers, & yes, brothers are brothers. Yes, it has its challenges. But you learn to adapt

I agree with all your comments and hang in there and try and stay pos

A relief to finally know what was causing all the weird feelings we were having. Neither psychic or crazy just a physical prob-epilepsy. Glad we have great meds to help like many conditions cause also unknown. Diabetes we know is pancreas prob, why unknown but can be helped w/insulin. So glad we have meds to help epilepsy. Best side of all is seizure control as well. My 50vrs of all types of seizures but still happy & healthy I'd take any day vs others.
