You really need to take a good hard look at yourself if you think mental or physical problems are something to make fun of. I am sure if someone makes fun of homosexuality you would be the first one to flip out.
Shameful.

Not trying to be negative..but I thought I was pretty sure there was no cure for epilepsy other than surgical procedure.

Most children grow out of their seisures, my niece has to be under the doctors supervision and take medication for the next 2 years that slows them down. She used to have several seisures a day now she hasn't had one for about a month.

Really? I dunno, my ex mother in law had grand mal seizures. She had them her entire life and they never just disappeared.

Ive been thinking about this and just find it interesting in my case. Since I was a little girl my step sister had problems and had seizures, It was difficult for me at first, I really didnt know what was happening. As time went by I became more understanding. As a young adult I had a few retationships that didnt work out, right before I met my husband I loved someone who didnt feel the same about me but still my feelings were so real. I met my husband at a Nascar Race (can u believe that). He was sitting in the same section of seats that were bought. I was 26 and had been a PRN Fan for quite some time. The music had helped me thru so many hard times. As we started dating I found out that he had epilepsy and he was hanging with the wrong kind of people therefore causing alot of seizures. He wasnt taking his medicine like he should. Once I came into the picture, I made sure he was not doing things like drinking and other things and taking his medicine. He had quite a few more seizures but as time went by I began to see the warning signs and knew what to do to prevent this. I have been married to him since 97, actually played some of emancipation in my wedding. I find that I needed him to help me get away from this other person and he needed me to help him. I have remained a PRN fan and my husband has not been that open to it but he knew I was a fan from the beginning. He gets jealous of my interest in the music. I feel he thinks Im in Love with Prince. I do love Prince and maybe when I was 17 I thought I was in love but now Im 41 and know that if I had not had the music I would not b the person I am today! After watching the Tavis Interview I just began to think and had to give my thoughts. There is so much more that I could say but....Peace and Love to yall

I commend him! My Godmother has has gran mal seizures since 1979 and they are pretty scary.. Shes my hero...She lives through it like it's nothing but when you see it first hand its not pretty... Shes a strong woman at 58...I love you mom!

prince had a line in a particular song about him being epileptic since the age of seve- yep- the sacrifice of victor-thats the song!
