I came down with epilepsy when I was fifteen and for several years after
that, I had a hard time dealing with it.  It was not until I was in my
early twenties, that a friend of mine who was training as a nurse said
this to me, "In the early days of Greece, many who were having seizures
were thought of as having intimate talks with the gods." I liked that
and it did help me to cope somewhat with it.  On a lighter note, if I
were to have another, oh those gods would hear and earful from
me..smile.  Most likely they would say, "Someone take this condition
away from her, we do not need to hear back from her"..LOL.

Hugs,
Mary!
