And nothing against the reply you give out, but does it seem like before you had the condition we now have the people who were in your life or came into your life or theirs, treat you the same way as before and it's not a issue with them with you having your condition you have, or when they found out they started or seemed like they treating you differently cause you have that condition you have, I'm ok with the care and concern, but I don't like to treated like extra care if you understand what… read more
Thankfully all my friends excepted, older and newer 1's. Some of my newer 1's were those who had it too from different ways of getting/having it. Feel it should always be that way since there are others having to deal with other types of disabilities.

My mom treats me more different than my dad and Friends , who all are aware of my Epilepsy.
My parents never really treated me any differently after being diagnosed. Everyone I know knows that I have epilepsy. I over share. I am not really sure how my friends feel about my epilepsy, but one friend did say they were comfortable around me because I was not so worried about my epilepsy. I really don’t think anyone treats me any differently.
Everyone I can think of knows. I was always a private person so that hasn’t changed. But when I happen to see certain people they treat me differently. Which is kind of sad for them to be so ignorant. My sister always says wait till they have a brain injury or someone they know. Then they will understand. But I have to admit it stings.
