When I graduated one year later from high school I had bad migraines which became seizures, which followed by uncontrolled seizures up to 7 a day and as years went on my life stop. I lost my first great paying job and was not allowed to continue college because of my seizures in class. As a result my license was revoke. And it got to the point where I stop living I was trapped in the house because various times I was robbed and treated badly. In 2008 I decided to have brain surgery cause the seizures increased, and my life started to changed although the surgery was great it reduced my seizures but did not take them away and I was able to return to school, and I graduated with honors, and I do what I love to do sing, and write and I will be completing a alum by Nov and releasing it 1/28/11 donating 3% of the proceeds to the epilepsy foundation. Go look for me on facebook at Shariese Katrell or Katrell Musiz and share your story with me. I am a young woman who has been living with Epilepsy for 6 years.

Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate it. I know a lot of people may not have the time to read a book this year, but my sister and I hope to do this again next year with more notice. I found about Purple Day a little over 2 weeks ago and this is what we came up for this year. We just want to help dispel some of the all to common myths about epilepsy and make people more aware of this disorder. Thanks again and if I could give you hug through the computer I would. Natasha!

Friday will be outrageous purple day at our house, complete with hats. :0 Epilepsy is so misunderstood. There is a stigma attached that must be dispelled. I have met intelligent, well spoken people who have been outcast and made to feel like they are invisible, defective or freakish! It's apalling. Thank you for hosting this, thank you on behalf of my son and the 50 million others worldwide that have been diagnosed. My love to your friend and her daughter! Please pass on my support an understanding, we have been dealing with this for 4 years and I promise, it does get easier! Thanks again!

They told me about tomorrow being purple day and I think it's a great idea, especially since I have a ton of purple to wear with it being my favorite color. ;) I don't have time to read a book about epilepsy right now, but I'll help pass along the awareness. :) This going to be a mouthful, but my sister-in-law’s sister’s son was diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago.
