Re: [epilepsy] New here.

Mary Deloria,

Welcome to the group. I have epilepsy since I was a baby, which is about 41
years now. It was from a head injury. I have complex-partial seizures.I
graduated from school alright, but i did have a lot of seizures and spent a
lot of time recuperating in the principal's office, than went back to class.
I went to a small school and all the teachers helped me through it.I have
had surgery and it helped me a lot.I have been in a relationship for years,
but I never had any kids either, because I was always falling down all the
time when I had a seizure,and I didn't want to hurt them.If you need
anything write anytime. Take care.

Tammy
