Re: [epilepsy] New Here...Introduction & Question

Wendy,

Welcome to our group. Sorry to hear about Julia. If you
have a clonic or grand mal you usually pass out. At least
I did.

I don't have any answers to your questions since I wasn't
diagnosed (DX)until I was 30. I then had 3 daughters 2, 4 and
6 and a husband (now ex). That was 46 years ago.

Good luck with Julia.
