I'm a smart woman. I know there are people out there who will beg to differ but really I am, OK brilliant is more like it (SHUT UP STEVE!!) and I do know that there is a World Wide Web out there at my finger tips (Thank you Al Gore heheheh) I have as a resource to find out about epilepsy but where do I start?

I decided to ask myself a few questions before I started reading everything out there because there is allot of bullshit!

1) I wanted reliable information
2) I wanted expert information from expert sources
3) I wanted to also read about other people like myself.

 So where do I start.................Why Google of course...........Google what a funny word huh? I worked with young people and I was the old lady who was always asking a question and ALWAYS and I means ALWAYS getting the same answer GOOGLE IT!! It got to the point where it came in stereo from desks far far away, GOOGLE IT BETH. I would start a sentence by saying "does anyone know" and BOOM I would be cut off with "GOOGLE IT BETH"  They were even so kind as to make Google my home page :) Oh and this was the comic they sent me along with making goole my home page heheheh

So off to google I go to find out what I can about epilepsy.

http://www.epilepsy.com/
http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/
http://www.cureepilepsy.org/home.asp

These three pages are the ones I found I like the best because they are the three best ones out there. More information then one can handle in a day. More information then one will learn in a lifetime because it changes daily.

Did you know that November is National Epilepsy Month?
Purple is the color for Epilepsy awareness.
3 million people have Epilepsy in the USA.
1.4 million are adults
1% of the Worlds population has Epilepsy (wow I'm in a 1% of something:(

Just some facts, either way it sucks for me and everyone else who has epilepsy.

I once had a woman tell me I could not have epilepsy because I didn't look like I did, WHAT! She then went on to tell me she knew two people who had epilepsy and I didn't look like them. I was in such shock I was speechless and anyone who knows me knows that is in its self a shock because I can talk no matter what I'm a sales woman! I DIDNT LOOK LIKE THEY DID? What the hell did they look like and what the hell was I to look like that would make you think for sure I had epilepsy I really need to know? Damn I need to start carrying around my EEG report from here on out! To this day I still cant believe that woman was able to crawl out of her cave and walk upright!
