Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / October 2003EPILEPTIC or PERSON WITH EPILEPSY?
Howdy! Bob thought that the other thread was getting a bit long so I just thought that I'd start a new one so people don't have to follow a thread for 10 miles. I'm a person of the "I'm an epileptic" mind set myself!  SignatureDave ????

Well, I'm happy to contribute to another ten mile thread ... > I'm a person of the "I'm an epileptic" mind set myself! So am I. But haven't we been here before?

If you mean wondering if you're my husband it's because you share the same name and remind me of him with a lot of things you say. Very practical. Infuriatingly so. An answer to everything. Hrumph. But I've told you all that many times before - for 44 years ... Mary Howdy Malcom! Folks around these parts just don't appreciate us geniuses who know everything and are gracious enough to share our unlimited wisdom, knowledge, insight and humility! SignatureDave ????

For those who keep the entire thread forever the last thread probably was getting a bit long and unruly. So, what the heck! I STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM SOME OF YOU LURKERS OUT THERE!!!!!!!! :) SignatureDave ???? "Noli illigitemi carborundum decendus" http://www.howdydave.com > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > http://www.howdydave.com How about from a new poster/lurker? ;-) Since my daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy, I have posted here a bit and lurked even more. the threads that run through this board are helpful to me and my family. This thread has been very interesting to read and here is my .02 cents worth. I personally (this is my view and I don't pretend to push it on anyone else) have never allowed any label to have any power over me or my family. My mother was a diabetic or had diabetes, my father was an alchoholic, or had a drinking problem, and now my daughter is an epileptic or has epilepsy. The other person can choose the label but the individual either allows or disallows that label to have any power over their person. I judge people by their actions not their labels. If someone else can't do that I am not interested in calling that individual a friend. Zeeke ;-| I am not as pompous as that post seems like!! HONESTLY > Howdy Bob! > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > http://www.howdydave.com Howdy Zeeke! I agree with you about judging people... My big problem is with family members -- especially parents -- who make a big deal about it. This is very often done for their own benefit in an attempt to get rid of the prejudicial connotations about epileptics that they had for themselves before having a family member who was: 'one of those people.'

HONESTLY It doesn't sound at all pompous to me, just eminently sensible. But perhaps I'm pompous. I thought I was only arrogant and opinionated ... Mary just to add my little input.. I have always been of the mind set that " I have epilepsy...epilepsy doesn't have me.... cheers. > How about from a new poster/lurker? ;-) > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > > > > > > > http://www.howdydave.com Dave ©¿©¬ <dave@_nospam_howdydave.com> wrote >Howdy Bob! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >I STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM SOME OF YOU LURKERS OUT THERE!!!!!!!! :) Sorry Dave, it's Schrodinger's Cat Syndrome - the moment a lurker posts they cease to be a lurker.

BTW I have epilepsy. But if you say I am an epileptic I won't have a cow, but I would prefer you say "Julie has epilespy".
