Hello there. I'm Lev, 19, epileptic. Diagnosed at 16, although I believe I had it lifelong. I also suffer from mental illnesses. I recently sustained a bad head injury and have half a hope that it may have knocked the epilepsy out of me! Ha.

Anyhow, hello there.
 
Hi Lev,

Welcome to CWE! Everyone here is a great friend and has been a great help to me. I started having seizures when I was a kid only 10 yrs. old that was 44 yrs. ago. Take my word they have come a long way in treating epilepsy since I was a kid. Years ago some of my family thought that I was having a lot of emotional problems but in the long run we
all found out that it was from the seizure med that I was taking. My best advice to you is start seeing an Epileptologist if you aren't seeing one yet. I've found an Epileptologist who is a Dr. that specializes in treating epilepsy was the best thing I ever did this Dr. has me on the least med, and I have the best control of my seizures. I was also able to have brain surgery to help reduce the seizures. Feel free to ask any questions we are all here to help. I wish you only the best and May God Bless You!

Lev,

You will find that many of the members of CWE will be able to help you because of the fact that E has so many wide differences for each person! If you have any questions feel free to ask them! There is no such thing as a 'dumb' question because getting an answer is going to make a person smarter! :twocents:

Hi there
Pleeeeeeeeze don't say epileptic that defines you.Define yourself as young person with epilepsy.....I pick everyone up on that one
 
As seagull mentioned above, the term"EPILEPSY" unfortunately, still has a stigma attached to it so maybe you define yourself as a person with a" seizure condition"
