Hello. I'm glad to have found this site from the efa site. It's a welcome discovery to find these sites that discuss the many areas of E. It is rare to find anyone who knows from personal experience what you deal with. Most of the time I'm pretty upbeat and look for positive results, but on occasion dealing with E can get me down. It has been a boost to log on to these sites and hear others expressing feelings that I felt were isolated to what was happening with me.

I was told I had an electrical imbalance 17 years ago which later was renamed epilepsy. I know it was always the same and why the doctor called it an imbalance I don't know. There have been life alterring changes that I'm sure everyone that visits this site is aware of.

I tried at first to say this thing would not change my life and for many years denied it was affecting me. It took sometime to conclude that it did effect me but not deter me. I'm thankful for many supportive friends and family and most recently a very supportive girlfriend. Thanks for your sharing of feelings and thoughts and I look forward to visiting often. Steve :wink:
