Epilepsy (speak Out) by 8oracle(m): 11:33am On Apr 08, 2009
Through this thread let’s bring succor to those who are afflicted with this neurological disorder.

It is very sad that persons under this illness rarely get mentioned in the media or elsewhere we are all inundated with AIDS OR SICKLE CELL Sufferers, from close experience epilepsy patients if the are to be called so, are seen as social misfits, no one want to touch them.

The worse is that doctors who are to be in the know kept it treatment or management shrouded in secrecy , but elsewhere like BRITAIN thru their NHS,(by free treatment) are giving epilepsy patient a good relief in life and adequate social interaction.

The facts is epilepsy cut across all social strata, it afflicts kings, Queens and the poor likewise

Am a happy to say that thru NHS and their cooperate doctors a patient I know has blossomed into a fine young lady enjoying life and having good social interaction without anyone knowing or otherwise that she used to suffer from epilepsy

Do you have a sufferer? Kindly relate his or her form of epilepsy. Lets us bring the awareness to any appropriate quarter that people under this condition are wasting away here in Nigeria. And something have to be done about it.

Speak up if you re a sufferer or languish un-necessarily when there are many forms of management for life.
