hi cyber cyblings i sent in that news article about epilepsy for two reasons [two that i know of, anyway] one: its subject matter is a brain chemistry disorder my favourite subject two: i was once diagnosed as having epilepsy i suffered one 'grand mal' seizure when i was about 12 years old thrashing about, chewing on my tongue, memory loss the whole deal i was subsequently medicated to the hilt for a few months such that i could barely propel myself from one class to another in high school i was later taken off medication declared only 'slightly' epileptic i.e. with a certain 'threshold' and sent on my unfettered way [injections always made me 'pass out' in a faint which was determined a 'petit mal' incident] so that single 'grand mal' attack remains a bit of a mystery unless you count the fact that i was lying on the floor in front of the stereo playing elvis' "g.i. blues" album over and over and over at full volume at the time your brainwave syber-sibling janet [log in to unmask]
