ABOUT US Understanding about Epilepsy and having to live with it on a daily basis. Our answers on how we cope with our condition, and why we do what we do to share this information with you.  JULIE Julie's life in the past had been a daily struggle. For many years, too many to count, she lived not knowing where she was, or who she was. Many Doctors, and Neurologists, tried to help but without much luck. Living in and out of hospitals, raising five children, and now today not even being able to remember raising those little ones. This is all due to the many GRAND MAL seizures causing a short term memory loss, that loss which can never be fully replaced. Her nature has always been to help others in  need, and she now has this growing need to pass on to even more people what she has learned and researched. This website has been started so she can share with you valuable information. Not only does Julie have Epilepsy, her daughter, and her grandson also have Epilepsy.  She has now conquered hers at this point and also the young grandson is free of all drugs. Epilepsy is prominent in her life, all around her.   She has over the past 10 years, been working in a Group Home with the mentally and physically disabled, many of them also experiencing Epilepsy. Having dealt with it within her own family, having this first hand knowledge, gets high marks from those at work when it comes to helping others there.  She instinctively knows how they feel, how to stay calm when others may panic, these are just a few of the things that come to her naturally when a Seizure takes place. Her real passion in life has always been to help others in need. It just comes naturally to her.  Others were  there for her and her family whenever they needed help, her journey here would not be complete without now returning this help to others.  She has done much research about Epilepsy, continually asking her Neurologist, getting as much quality information from as possible. Reading, courses or anything to do with health in general is a part of her life.  If she doesn't know something, she does not quit until she finds the answer.  Julie looks forward to having the opportunity to share her experience and knowledge with all.  If it will help anyone you couldn't make her happier.  I sincerely want to thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
