 Epilepsy & Seizures
I'd been having petit mals for a year following my horse riding accident where i fractured my skull. But didnt know i had epilepsy until I had my first grand mal in July 07. Im finding it hard to deal with, some days i feel ok and others i feel bad and can't understand why this happended to me. Its good i have so many nice friends and my mum and dad otherwise i don't think i could cope at all. The worst thing is loosing my driving licence. I hopethat in a year i'll be ok to have it back 
Treatments
 Tegretol (Somewhat Helpful)
I have had 1 grand mal since starting these, due to memory loss too i have been started on a new drug (i forget the name but i will updae soon!!)

  Lacto-ovo vegetarianism (No meat)
Have been veggie since i was 13. Love it so much. The smell of meat makes me feel ill now but would never tell anyone else to become veggie, it's their choice.
