I would have never known
Sun, 07/17/2005 - 00:23Topic: Corner Booth
never in my life would I have known that there were so many people out there who are going through the same or almost the same thing that I am . It seems that most of us developed our seizures around the age of 12. That is when I developed min. I have onset primary and secondary genralized seizures. Unfortunately my parents did not bring me to the right doctors and also it was not as understood 23 years ago as it is now. All I wanted to say is Thank you to all of you for being there. It has helped a great deal. I have been through so many rough times in my life and they are just getting worse but I will NEVER give up the fight. Now that I know there is support from people who understand me it helps alot more. I can't tell you how much. I have discriminated against by loosing jobs because of having a seizure on the job, which now I am disabled, to the point of even loosing doctors because they couldn't cure me. Alot of the resources out there even have not done anything for me but one thing I can say is all of the support I have gotten from all of you has so again, from the bottom of my heart.....THANK YOU!!!! If I can ever help anyone I would be happy to!Pam

Thanks I'll be sure to let them know. I don't get to talk to my brother all that often for he works so much. In my family all I havr are my mom and my brother we lost our father 12 years ago. But they really need to understand this alot more than they do or think they do. They are just rembering my childhood and so much has changed since then.Thanks again, Pam
