I have never felt in my 28 years since being diagnosed with E it to have a stigma. Misunderstood - Yes. I am so open and honest about it all my friends people at work everyone knows about it and my triggers. They normally ask a couple of questions then thats it. I don't care what people think. I guess that probably helps too lol
Hi looshawn, glad to meet you. Hope to here more of your posts.
Epilepsy made 60 minutes. I hope I have the link right:
That is going to go a long way in taking away the stigma. The fact that epilepsy made 60 Minutes. I put the link in the Library room. I got the link right there. You can watch it.
I recorded the whole 60 Minutes on DVD.
But when is epilepsy ever going to be anywhere near comparison to breast cancer when it comes to funds, attention given?
What's wrong with this picture in America?
Yep. I quickly realized when I went back to school that answer just wouldn't do.I used to say I don't have a license because of "legal reasons" but then everyone assumed I got a DUI.
Witchitarik and stilldancing! Good for you both. Who wants to be around narrow minded people anyway... They're likely to be dull in others ways! Stay in the love.
