Scott,
It doesn't matter if the people in the pictures really do have epilepsy or not! We differ in our onions of the video, that is what this group is all about! Different thoughts on different issues concerning epilepsy. What counts is what is felt by people watching the video! And me, it touched me because I was there! I was that close to taking my own life in the very early 1980s because of how difficult a time I was having dealing with my life!!! As the video began, I was in tears because I could feel deep within my heart what was being said, what was shown and how people with epilepsy think at difficult times trying to deal with epilepsy! Then suddenly a piece of paper was shown saying what to do during a seizure. That exact piece of paper I've had in my wallet for 20 years now! It was distributed by the Epilepsy Foundation of America. I saw that and my head went down upon my desk as tears rolled out of my eyes! That video touched my heart. I've watched it over 10 times today for some reason! Maybe it was because seeing the video taught me again that I'm not alone in how I felt during my life with epilepsy? Hey, to me that was a truly touching video that people in my shoes could relate to! The point made in the video touched me in ways people who don't have epilepsy could ever relate to! I've been seizure free since my surgery 3 years 4 months ago. I always know my seizures can come back anytime, anyplace for the rest of my life. I have and always will have epilepsy until a cure is ever created! Take care, keep a smile on your face!

> in this video i don't necessarily agree with everything it says to do,BUT my biggest question is simply...how many of the people in it that are somewhat highlighted are actually people with epilepsy? is it possible that this is like ads that make things that are not as they really are look like they have been to one of those GLAMOURSHOTS studios?
