Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, I was just wondering do any of you have sezuires from loud music in a closed area like my self. Also do you have high anxiety from noice that is unusually louder than usual. I recntly in the last couple of years picked up on this. When someone yells at me in anger sezuires happen no doubt. I ran off one time and hit my head on the wall during a complex partial and dont remember anything. Just woke up with a knot on my head and a bad headache. Can any of you relate?

Do you ask yourself this question? For example, what if I never developed Epilepsy? Or in my case, what if I had been diagnosed with Epilepsy in 1980 rather than in 1997 (and thus have 17 years of brain damage as a result)? As some friends told me here years ago, and God recently inspired me to ponder, there would have been a lot of changes in my life if I was diagnosed in 1980.
