Re: [epilepsy] Re: Epilepsy On 60 Mins

 

Hi Steve,

I didn't realize that there is such a high death rate for people with epilepsy. How do most die? Are they in accidents, do they die from the seizures? Thanks for any information. Take care.

Hi Millie,

Thank you for calling me on the phone Sunday letting me know about it on 60 minutes. I'm very glad they talked about death do to epilepsy. Its a simple fact that just as many people die because of epilepsy as they do to breast cancer. No reason to hide it. I know two people who I met in internet epilepsy support groups who died from because of epilepsy. I don't hide that fact from anybody I know. We can't simply pretend its not say serious as it really is. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
