Do NOT believe your life will be hard

Topic: Corner Booth

There seems to be someone on this site who is giving advice such as - suck it up, your life is going to be hard - to those who have been recently diagnosed, or - if your having seizures and driving you might as well go to hell - to the scared women who is losing most of her independance because of her recent diagnosis. This is NOT all there is to it. There are a host of medications, implants , surgery. The last two may not sound too pleasant, but there is hope. I'm afraid the person who is posting these comments is"uncontrolled"( the seizures that is) and perhaps a little bitter, well, very bitter. Please, do not give up hope, and please DO NOT believe that the rest of your life is going to be hard.
