After meeting all of you here, I've gained a different perspective on epilepsy. For so long, I was only able to see how E has affected me--not my family, not those who have had it since birth, etc. Sort of self-centered I guess.
For the past couple days, I've been wondering if it is 'easier' (for lack of a better word) to have epilepsy since birth or to develop it later in life. (I know it's not easy for anyone) What do you think?
I was diagnosed in early adulthood. I felt like my body had been working just fine for years, and all the sudden, out of the blue, for no good reason my body betrayed me. Does a person who has had it from birth just come to think of it as 'normal'? Does a person who develops it later in life, have the advantage of a more 'normal' childhood? Does it make a difference at all? (I know it just sucks for all of us)
Please don't be offended by this...I was just wondering what you all thought.
