I was just wondering how much epilepsy
affects your everyday life?
Does it make your emotions go crazy?
Can it give you really bad head aches?
Can it make you just want to puke out of
no were?
One of my teachers had it so I was just
wondering and she did not really want to
talk about it. Thank you to the people
that feel comfortable leaving the
information. Thanks for reading

I think the personal impact of epilepsy
runs the gamout from all consuming to
after thought and the determining factor
is how well the seizures are controlled
(or not).
When the seizures are severe (tcs),
frequent and unpredictable, epilepsy can
be very debilitating. Frequent petit mal
seizures with no tcs can be a pain, but
don't preclude living a fairly normal
life.

Karra answer to your question, I know you
can live a normal life when you have
epilepsy. When it's under control you can
do anything other people can. Topamax is
a good drug for controlling epilepsy in
most. I know this for a fact. If anyone
is not on topamax they might want to see
their doctor about this. Of course there
is also brain sugury, but that would be a
last for most of course. Hope this helps,
