Clemson sophomore football player Stanley Hunter is a great example of someone who realized that despite his epilepsy, he could continue to participate in other ways in the sport he loves.

Without a doubt, it’s one of the most difficult issues to deal with as an adult with epilepsy: the inability to drive. But there are options for those who live with the condition. But you must put forth the effort.

It’s something every single person, young or old who lives with epilepsy faces…those rotten side effects of their medication(s). Moodiness, weight gain, weight loss, depression, hair loss, stress, drowsiness, dizziness, speech issues, cognitive issues, poor memory and concentration, irritability and overactivity in children…the list goes on.

If you–the parent–are the one with seizures, and not your child, how much information do you really owe to your child’s school and/or his teachers?

The best advice a neurologist once gave me, and words I have never forgotten, was to make sure you appoint someone your personal advocate or your Partner in Care as you journey through epilepsy.

It’s a question that most, if not all of those who live with Epilepsy will ask at one point in time. Don’t get me wrong…neurologists are gifted and brilliant doctors (at least most who I’ve come into contact with during the course of my illness), but if you are living with Epilepsy chances are good you will want to seek out a specialist, someone who only deals with this disease.
