Vicki,
 
Milinda is so right, also many, many years ago people were called witches (who had epilepsy) and were killed. Thank God we have passed that just a little, they don't kill us anymore, but with some people if they had a chance they would still today.
 
True Story:
For most don't know anything about epilepsy and everything about diabecty. I was at a diabetes meeting with my husband (diabetec) and one of the teachers there told me that diabetec are the most important. Right at that time I started to cry and asked my husband to leave, for I wanted to say something to that woman  she is lucky I am a Christian.
 
What people don't know, is a shame, and their mouths should stay shut. Respect people for who they are, and not what they think or have heard!!!!
 
True Story:
I was at work and we did a sample of seizures so people could understand more. Afterwards one of the gals I have worked with for about 5yrs said to me. "I could not talk to or be friends with anyone with epilepsy" I said to her you have to stop taking to me, she said what are you talking about, I said I have epilepsy, she said you are lying, I said no I am not. She stopped taking to me that day.   Her Loss not mine.
