What Do You Think: Do Our Seizures Get Worse Over Time?
Or do our meds become less effective over time? Or does something else cause our seizures to come back after they’ve been under control?

What Do You Consider Epilepsy?
I found a site called Epilepsy Disease and just that name I find offending. Epilepsy is a medical condition, its not some disease you can catch. What are your thoughts on this
It does frustrate me too. The medical field calling Epilepsy a disease. I see it a lot myself . I don’t consider Epilepsy a Disease. I consider it a Disorder , Conditions , and then there are other… read more
