Hi Krista,
I would never say that "You "am AN Epileptic. I would say that "Krista, you have "epilepsy""(noun). To a lot of people with epilepsy, epileptic is an offensive word.
I will just avoid using it as an adjective. I will make my sentences with it as a noun, "Epilepsy."
I also have Diabetes. Is anyone here who has Diabetes offended by the word "Diabetic?" In the Diabetic (adjective)) support groups, I have never encountered anyone with Diabetes (noun) offended by the word "Diabetic."
I will not use the word "Diabetic" or the word "Epileptic" in this forum, as it will offend some people. I do not want to offend anyone here who has Diabetes, either.
I do not want to take anyone's identity taken from them.
Krista, I hope you take part in the poll. That is the only way that everyone will have the correct percentage.
I am sorry that I have insulted some people here who have epilepsy.
