when i first started have epilepsy as a young girl my life was being turned around my life had to change and this word epilepsey was still in the mid 1970s a word to be quiet,in my experiances once the word got out i was at the age of 8yrs old found myself being kicked out of school,they said they didnt want any responceability of an epileptic child,some of the school staff seemed to still carry that stigma that we who suffer fits are evil or a witch,
i grew up never learning how to swim or even had my first bike,i was not to have a bath alone i had to be watched,just imagin how this would be for other children then and now although the stigma has now gone a thing of the past most of us still experiance something in their lives were they have or feel they have been miss judged and unfairly mistreated,tell us of your experiances and how you felt during those times,did you feel pushed out not belonging or other,
if anyone has a story or problem regarding how to make life easier for a sufferer of epilepsy please get intouch,
