Make A Difference..

With Epilepsy being a huge part of who I am, I always wonder what I can do to make a difference. In March of 2010, there was a National Epilepsy Walk. It is a walk for anyone who has it, knows someone who has it, or just even a supporter of curing Epilepse and fighting for this cause. Although I was not able to attend it, I plan on in the future to see when there will be a another walk I can go to. Thsi walk has helped fundraise money for the fight for Epilepsy. Even if you do not have it, and do not fully understand what a Epileptic goes through-there are ways to help. This walk is not just for a good cause, but it reflects on anyone who has had to deal with Epilepsy in any way. Even if it is a family member who had it. Make a difference!

Future..

Having Epilepsy, I always wonder about my future. I am afraid my children will get it because of me. I still also wonder how I got this when no one else in my family has this illness. I found a website that answers many of these questions. It even gives a brief description about genetics and how genetics is not necessarily linked with having seizures. I found it to be useful in understanding why I have Epilepsy.

Reasons

Epilepsy has always been a big part of my life. In fact, it has been a mojor contribution to who I am today. I always like find readings on why this happen to me, or I like to see percentages. I read a article that includes a lot of these findings. It is very informational. I recommend reading it. You can find it at:
