In Reply To: [epilepsy] Re: Why I have Epilepsy?

It's been a few-years now - since it started.
thou I have friends with epilepsy tell-me: she heard, if you fly or cross an ocean, it won't happen again"
everyone is different: thou: I had Doctors ask-me if I am single or married?
the more in a relationship - it might help, the more you entertain the epilepsy just in a possitive state of mind: it won't happen as much.
but once it starts: we have it - till death...

just take your medication'

and be careful...

Hi, all. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 4 years old. I've had it for 39 years now (so you can guess how old I am). Nobody knows how it started. Mom has a theory that it was because she was in labor for 27 hours with me. I don't know if that was the case, though. Even if it was, why would it take so long to manifest itself? Anyway, my seizures are under control with medication. I haven't had one in almost a year. I've also figured out one of my triggers: dehydration. I was mowing the ditch in my front yard a few years ago, and I started seeing spots in front of my eyes. So I sat down in the ditch and had a seizure. That, along with a couple of times during a martial arts class, helped me figure it out. Now I'm careful to make sure I have enough water and take breaks if I'm doing a lot of work.
