I understand what it's like. I've had Epilepsy for 5 years now. I know that there are people who know about Epilepsy, but there isn't anywhere near as much research into it or any of the Invisible Illnesses. It really sucks for those of us who have them too.

People think the same thing of Epilepsy. I also get the occasional Chronic Headache every now and again since I gave my self a concussion when I was 4 and I also had 2 craniofacial surgeries in my life, just to keep alive. I have to take a lot of precautions as well. I can't stay in places with bright blinking lights (it gives me headaches), I can't go on anything that spins in quick circles (I get dizzy and nauseous) and I have to sleep with at least 2 pillows under my head (mostly so that if I have a nocturnal seizure I won't smack my head). All things, except the pillows, are possible triggers of seizures. Sad thing is, I'm surrounded on a daily basis by these types of things and can't avoid them.

But I do understand the frustration and the pain. I hope that your papa at least is being treated. Being treated for anything is a small miracle that one shouldn't take for granted. Keep strong and have faith in him. [:
