Are They Working On Cures For Us????

It Just Seems Like Where Im From, These Docs Can Really Careless About Epilepsy. They're Coming Out With Cures For Everything Else, But Havent Found Any Cures For Our Constant And Multiple Seizures. Then On Top Of That, These Meds Really Suck To The Point Where The Side Affects Either Make Us Have More Seizures Or Try To Kill Us. Its Beyond Frustrating. I Know I Am!!

I hear you Syd, Ive gone through 10 meds Im now on 3 meds, for all the psychiatric effects of meds & seizures... resenting everyone & everything, turning into an irritated depressed prick.... its a stunning... 30% improvement.. *slow clap.. It's a broad bucket epilepsy though & maybe they'll get more specific meds in the future.
