I was thinking this morning, are there some realistic New Year’s resolutions that I actually might adhere to? And, can I make sure they not only benefit and define me, but are also epilepsy issues I care so deeply about?

In nearly 8 years of my living with Epilepsy, my husband has never really spoken at length to anyone who walks in his shoes. His wife lives with a chronic neurological condition called Epilepsy and he is healthy.

The fact of the matter is, every state has a law that applies to drivers who have seizures. It’s up to our doctors to make sure we are abiding those laws, but it’s also up to those of us who live with Epilepsy to adhere to them.

Allegedly, a driver with Epilepsy in the Seattle area has been charged with vehicular homicide after slamming his vehicle at 70-mph into the rear of a vehicle at a traffic light, killing the man inside. No one will confirm if the driver was having a seizure at the time, but he DOES have a history of various traffic accidents.

You can live a ‘normal’ life with Epilepsy.

Now that my daughter is 4 1/2 years old, I’ve begun to feel that sense of guilt. Does my epilepsy affect her life?

A new study released by doctors at the Mayo Clinic says newspaper coverage of accidents involving people with Epilepsy is biased.

Unless you are strong enough and conscientious enough to take matters into your own hands, you can become a bit of a ‘shut-in’ with Epilepsy.

Unless you open yourself up to help, it won’t be offered. People are busy with their own worlds and they have their own lives to worry about.

When she was an infant, it didn’t really matter which one of us was the sick one. But now that my daugther is growing up, I’m beginning to feel that sense of guilt. Is my illness bringing her down?
