I was so excited to find this group. It is nice to be able to connect with others who really understand epilepsy. Some of us have been battling a long time. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 30 years ago. Some folks who join this group are newly diagnosed or starting to make adjustments. I am always nervous about sharing my condition with people. For example, I have students who will joke around and mock seizures. Granted, I teach middle school and students that age will make very inappropriate comments and joke about things they do not understand--really about anything. I use it as an opportunity to explain seizures to them. I have some colleagues who know. I do not share my condition with students or parents--again, because of ignorance and cruelty.... It has been so nice to find a group that I can share with. Thanks for being there! Tomorrow is the last day of school!!!
