Don’t let epilepsy be the main subject in Your life. Find a way to keep Yourself occupied when You are not doing anything. Or pick up a hobby, origami is one of my favorite things to do. Instead of watching tv all the time I get a good book πŸ“š. Personally I love watching the Red Sox, so I got a couple of books about Fenway Park and the famous players, ex Ted Williams.
