I would like to be an advocate for people like me. I have epilepsy and am constantly judged for it as well as others I'm sure. I would be very open and honest with questions that were asked about my condition but when I run across people that are like me they choose to ignore and hide their condition. Therefore I can never really speak with anyone with the same condition. I find it to be very sad that they feel they have to hide it. I have been treated with such aggrieve by having seizures for the simple fact that the person is ignorant of knowledge towards the condition. In the media right now there is Demi Moore which recently had a seizure because of her past drug addition and eating disorder, there has been others as well like Amy Whinehouse. I did not get epilepsy by anything that I have done. Unfortunately I have several family members that have had it or currently have it, so it runs in my DNA. Children that have to deal with the condition probably deal with so much but don't openly speak about it. There is so little known about it and so little research and it has been around for such a long time. I was able to be in the audience on Jan. 20th and I had fun but please I beg you I really need someone to be an advocate for people with our condition.
