Re: [epilepsy] Re:seizures that others don't notice



I think we all have issues that are hard to deal with, just on different levels.  There's always going to be someone else who's case will humble us and make us feel grateful for what we must deal with. That being said, shouldn't we support each other no matter what?  Laura

Hi Uhura,

Speaking as the mother of someone with generalized tonic clonic
seizures, I think you are very fortunate to have seizures that others
don't notice. No sore muscles, cuts or abrasions, black and blue
marks or broken teeth. Your risk of falling or drowning or other
serious injury are also very low. I understand that you feel people
may wonder "what's wrong with her" when you stand and do nothing for
a period of time, but in the grand scheme of things that is not so
bad. My daughter was taunted and made fun of in middle school because
she had several seizures there. I would have given anything for her
to only have seizures that no one else noticed, to be honest with you.

Please don't take offense. I just wanted to give you the perspective
from the other side.

Be happy with yourself.
Tammy
