I know a little about Epilepsy from my brother, he's had it since he was 7, but mum tried to protect him to much, almost treated him like a glass doll, or a fragile toy. I know what he went through with her. I don't plan on making the same mistakes she mad. We have an appointment with our family doctor tomorrow, so I intend to see what is avalible for my daughter. She made the bold step and told a couple of her friends yesterday; I had to interrupt he sleep-over (medication time,) I didn't embarrass her by telling her in-front of them. But they asked her after she came back. Her friends seemed ok this morning, hopefully they accept it, and her.

Being 12 is hard enough; being 12 with epilepsy sucks a lot worse. I know...I was, too. If you can, get her involved in a local adolescent support group. I wasn't allowed to discuss it at all, even at home, and only years of therapy helped. Start now. It'll help!
Good luck!

My name is Sophia, am a single mum of 3 lovely kids, my (middle child) Halley 12, was just diagnosed with epilepsy, the Doctor put her on Zarotin, going back to the doctors next week for medication adjustment. Halley is in that depressed stage at the moment, why me?, and my life is over, and have to keep on top of her to take the medication.
