We all suffer in different ways because of epilepsy. A condition that has changed and for some distroid our lives. But there are people who are partners, parents or friends that we can't live without. So use this question to put the name of that special person.

For me my wife and carer Faye. xxx

Since my TBI and I started having seizures n 2003 my Mom was ALWAYS by my side and there 4 me and my kids. I am thankful that I was well enough 2 care 4 her n her final years when she got sick. I miss her so much now that she is gone and has been gone now 4 the last 18 months. Now I have my husband of the last 18 months that I can count on. I am happy that we were able 2 say our vows n front of my Mom 4 days before she passed.

I here to many stories where the parents don't deal well so there kids suffer. Some are left to figure it out on there own.
That's what we all here for. Friends forever.

i have a long list of people i can't live without. 1st of all my mom, step dad, and dad. my brother and my sister. then there is my aunts, uncles, and cousins. then there is my 2nd aunts, uncles, and cousins. in total about 70+ relatives. some of my relatives have other disorders so they feel my pain.
i was 5 or 6 (1995-96) when i had my 1st seizure so my classmates and my school nurses. and finally my work at the day care center. my boss and my workmates are understanding and helped me out a couple of times.
i know i am missing a couple of people. but for now, those people i owe my life to. without them, i would be brain dead or dead because of my seizures.
