He has absence and partial onset seizures. So she feels much less alone because of that too. Thanks for sharing your personal story it is nice to hear an adult perspective of a child's struggles. MT biggest problem growing up was my bossy older brothers :)<br />Rebecca Fanshierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307992484804127044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717268529893991608.post-10093710394188589532013-12-06T12:41:03.862-08:002013-12-06T12:41:03.862-08:00I love your writing.

If I took it I was fine, but I didn't want to take it. So when I didn't, I would have a major seizure at school and I missed classes and I couldn't even drive unless I was seizure free for a year. Luckily my friends were supportive. I just didn't feel it was fair that I had to take a pill and others didn't have problems. Only when we get older we realize everyone has something. I struggled through the teen years with this. Not sure what could have been done differently. Finding books, or finding other people that have medical problems that she can talk and relate to can be great. It's like with my Lupus, sometimes I feel like I've got it so bad. Then I meet someone that has what I have and I see what they are doing and I know it will be okay. Alina will benefit from meeting people that have what she has… and seeing that it will be okay too.Edward Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15075756409606470936noreply@blogger.com
