I live in Michigan in the United States.  I live in a pretty rural area which is nice but there is little support available if I want to meet others who share the struggles I have with epilepsy.  It is quite lonely.  Like you expressed it is nice to have a website to visit and share.My perception of Ecuador is of a rural habitat.  Is this accurate?  I assume your "disease" is epilepsy?  What kind of treatment is available for you?  Keep reading and researching.  I hope others can share your enthusiastic understanding of what you discover.  Are you sure it is not a common disease?  If you can find a comfortable way to open up and tell about it you may find others who are shy about telling about it.

Just remember Nicole,

Just remember Nicole, Epilepsy is not a disease its a disorder. Yeah it may suck, but it makes you unique. I was diagnosed when I was 4 years old, I am now 15. So I know what its like growing up and feeling different. Just remember to stay strong!
