i have never actually witnessed a person having a seizure....justice robert's sounded like the 'scary' kind

when my daughter was told she had epilepsy (according to the definition of at least 2 incidents) we were really perplexed as there is no family history, no head trauma, no history of migraines, nothing

i worry about her because she is unwilling to curtail her lifestyle (when she told me about her scuba diving, i sent her links advising an epileptic against it, no dice, she just promised me not to dive more than 100 feet)

i think like suma wrote, denial is very strong, especially when epileptic seizures are heavily associated with mental disability

no one wants to be told they cannot drive when they feel perfectly fine and capable and the incidents are well over 10 years apart....she was very fortunate to be walking, not driving alone, she realizes that, but i believe she is convinced the second one was a 'one off' event, happened while she was on a business trip, highly stressed, over-tired, etc
