a day in our shoes is bound to change any ones perspective on hidden dis abilities as so many of us have multiple epilepsy syndromes which affect our day to day on a very subtle level unless we are having tonic clonics every second. i wouldnt wish the experience on anyone but do know that everytime we are not afraid to stand in our power and own epilepsy it changes our own field of possibilities in spreading awareness and getting the support we need to live here as a holistic being capable of contributing as our brains have access to more than the averege range of neurons even if shocked and seized into activation of creativity

Epilepsy is like any health prob how would a heart patient feel during a heart attack or live in fear of one? Tried to comfort a diabetic by comparing he said "Has any Dr told you were going to die?" He passed 4 months later. Must realize many far worse conditions than epilepsy.out there

Kelly, I think your phrase of: a day in our shoes ...... would be a good book title

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I agree, a day in our shoes would change anyone's perspective,
There are those many people I've known that have never cared about my epilepsy, only my character. Those are the people who've become life long friends. Just as it's a person's character that Is most important to me.

I agree with Michael, myself once had a seen what I looked like while up at the NIH. While up the first time had seen some1 have a gran mal, which let nurses know since was right there. Only thing I got out of it was seeing what I looked like since of course never saw before. Of course wishing the patient was fine too.
