Shelby,
I have had epilepsy since I was a baby. I am 40 now. I never had children
either, but I haven't had a hysterectomy done either. Sometimes I wish I
would have had kids, but I was always afraid of hurting them when I had
seizures.I have one sister and she had one child. Since I don't have any of
my own, I spoil him as much as I can. In a way, it does seem like part of my
life has a void in it, but then I just don't think I could handle kids the
way they would need to be.When I was younger, I had so many seizures, it was
something I would not even have wondered about. I guess I will just have to
live without them. I do think about how different my life would have been
with them. Take care.
