Re: [epilepsy] My son and the impact of epilepsy

 

Your welcome, Larry. One way is to keep track of different things you notice in a diary. Then you can
possibly delete them. A lot of seizures even doctors do not know what caused them in the first place. Mine
is like that. They are just there.... so best way for me to help them is to try and find out what is
triggering them and keeping a diary of each seizure and how it acted and what happened just before.

Don't think of epilepsy as a disease ok. Rather a bunch of symptoms that we have to find what is triggering
them.

I have a son who has epilepsy. He has had epilepsy for 27 years -- he is now 34 years old. Needless to say his
life has been full of challenges and repercussions from his disease. Growing up we tried to make life as
normal as possible in school, in the workforce, socially, etc. However, in later years he is becoming more and
more recluse and self demeaning. He refuses to go out to involve himself in public -- socially or any other
way. His self-worth is at an all-time low. When we suggest getting involved in epilepsy groups or going
outside to church activities or trying to obtain another job (he lost his first job due to (and is in my
opinion) discrimination regarding his health).

Does anyone have any suggestions -- my wife and I feel we are at our wits end. Thank you for anything you can
come up with.
