Thank you for posting this link. I had not heard of Amy or her cause. Great to know about
it.
In 1963 I had my first seizure at the age of 23. No cause was determined. Being young
and because the seizures were not a personal thing with me I did not follow the
medication as prescribed until I reached the age of 30.
I had several episodes during that time. However once I began following doctors orders I
have been seizure free. That was 1970.
While not all people are this fortunate many can be if they just follow orders. I am 66 and
other than having a hearing loss I seem to be fine.
Amy is right.....a person can live a normal life with this problem and we do need to make
people aware of what it really is.
Thanks again.

Thank you so much for posting this.
Not only do I love Amy Lee and her misic but now I have great respect for her.
My 4 year old has epilepsy coupled with a few other medical problems and I think what she is doing to bring awareness to this disorder is wonderful!
