My 19 year old daughter has had a mild form since she was about 5. It made school difficult for her, but she is now seizure free without meds. My wife's uncle died from a seizure in the mid 1980's. He played for the NFL and was in 3 superbowls, and it was probably all of the hits to the head that made his worse. He was jogging alone around a lake, suffered a seizure and rolled down an embankment and drowned. His girlfriend who was jogging a few yards behind him didn't seem him fall and jogged right past him. My 15 year old daughter had a friend spend the night at our house a few months ago, and without warning her friend suffered a grand mal seizure while sitting at a computer. It was her first seizure and a shock to us and especially her family. She's on meds now and had a couple seizures since, but seems to be doing pretty well. Hell we even have a cat with seizures. Must be something in the water out here. Giggles and BigPapaDean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I can't believe she's gone.I want my baby sis back.She was such a cheerful and kind person. :crybaby: BigPapaDean, Giggles and cspears 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people suffer from this disorder (calling it a disease makes some folks think you can catch it!). Wear purple, support those you know who have epilepsy. Many of the regional Epilepsy Foundations sponsor walks to support local programs, I would encourage any one with interest to seek one out, it is a couple of hours and a few bucks, but well worth it!

I wish we could cure this I've seen my sister have a very bad seizure when I was 9 yrs old and she was 5. It's very hard to watch them have one and know u can't do anything for them but hold them to make sure they don't get hurt.

I know duh that was a stupid thing to do but I still have my fingers. She was on meds for a couple years or so then without telling us she quit cold turkey not knowing she could have had a grand mall! Since then she has been symptom free. I thank God for that and I am so thankful she is living a normal happy life. Cspears I well wear my purple >XI< shirt for your daughter, my daughter and all victims of this horrible debilitating disorder.

I was born with epilepsy because my mother had a very hard labor I had what they called grand mal seizure everyday. I know how kids can be mean and think you are weak because of this but I tell everyone it has made me stronger as a person and taught me how shallow some people really are. I was on the strongest doses of medicine humanly possible with nothing to control them. Then in march 23 1989 I had surgery for it and no longer take the meds or have the seizures. Here is a picture after my surgery. Noears711XI, cspears and Giggles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
