hello group good day :) (THEN AND NOW) just a little word to the world
. maby you can remember a time when there were no reliable treaments
for epilepsy.... people did not understand why seizures happen and they
were afraid them .you may remember,as a child, that families often sent
people with seizures off to instiutions, or kept them at home isolated
from others. and you may have heard it wispered that epilepsy is a form
of mental illness. today we know that epilepsy is( NOT) a (mental
illness,) and certainly not a reason for shame or embarrassment lets all
please . think of the love ones ( be 4 us) and all the people thats
helped us and worked (so hard) to get us were we are to day sorry if my
writeing is not right .) perhaps you grew where peolpe with epilepsy
were not a allowed to marry . were not allowed to go back to school...
so please dont cast us away epilepsy is now a well understood
neurological disorder,no more than outher physical illnesses.. god bless

You and me may know they're all myths, but it's amazing how many people
still believe these little stories - you're always hearing about how in
less educated countries than ours, how people are always being murdered to
get the devil out of them because they've had a seizure - I think it's
something to do with religion, but it's still cruel and backward,
whichever way you look at it!! :-(
