Millie, Marty, Steve - Glad to hear it. It must be the stress! Well, it sounds
like a good excuse to live a really great, positive life and avoid excessive
worrying (easier said than done, but it sounds good to me!)

Hi Wendy,
I live near Chicago, its cold here during the winter!!! I would be outside
allot, waiting for buses, trains, having to then walk 15 minutes to and from
work. I would be outside no matter what the temperature was. Even below 0 with
strong winds I had to get to and from work. I would even go out for winter
walks to reduce stress! The cold Chicago winters, being outside didn't increase
my seizures at all. Come to think of it, I had few seizures outside during the
winter as compared to spring summer and fall (smile). So, I wouldn't worry
about the cold winter bringing on seizures. Take care, keep a smile on your
face!
Bears win! Bears win! Bears win! Bears win! Bears win!
