Hi everyone.
This is my first attempt at discussing epilepsy with anyone other than my close family. I've never even met another person with epilepsy. I'm at a point of frustration with all of this that I need to really start talking about it and taking it seriously.
I was diagnosed five years ago, at 40. There was some activity that built up to my first big TC but none of the history that sometimes goes along with epilepsy. It was days after my birthday. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!...and you have epilepsy now, so take that."
The docs tell me there are no visible lesions or any other culprit they can point to. It just happens. I'll stop there for now before I tell my entire life's story.
Thanks- Jason
