[epilepsy] Re: new w you (Cynthia)



Hi Steve, that is so awesome that you've had no seizures since surgery!
Amygdala... that's it, controlling emotions. I've got issues in there.
Right temporal, for me. I will keep your email address and come to you
if I need specific support. Mainly I feel misunderstood. I have a mostly
born-again Christian family, which I'm not opposed to, but there are a
few siblings who believe I am from the dark side of things spiritually,
if you know what I mean. Who else has these kinds of brain tremors? One
has told her children that 'Aunt Cynny is demon possessed.' (is that a
spoiler here? If so I'm sorry) So, support and not feeling like the only
living being who goes through such intense, hard to explain brain pain.

Thank you for speaking up.
Cynthia
