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 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.
