Probably the most misunderstood part of epilepsy.

Some people try to think your seizures can make you into a murdering maniac
(read 'Terminal man' for an example). Some think we overdo the changes life
normally puts humans through. Others seem to have a problem getting over the
fact that we aren't always like that. They seem to want to think we are always
"childish" because once we responded to them while our brains were busy brawling
with the meds we take.

Being socially acceptable in our situation requires a lot of practice. I got it
by joining a social club (Toastmasters) and participating in as many of the
large events as possible. The small group knew my situation and was very
accepting. Both the small meetings and the larger group kept me from cocooning.

  Some seizure types produce different feelings like tastes, odours,
or feelings that aren't real-- some places call it an Aura-- the
feelings can be like we already did this (deja vu) or we've never been
here before (jamais vu), even if we're at our own home.
   The feelings and behaviour types can help the Doctor know which
seizure type you have.   Did your Doctor tell you what the name is for
your seizure type ?? --   Grand Mal, Petit Mal, Complex Partial
(sometimes called Temporal Lobe type) ??
   If they told you a **name of the seizure type, others here who have
the same kind might be able to help you with information about pills
they use, or what works for them to help have less seizures.   G./
