As far as I have been able to find out there are no E support groups near me I believe there is one in Evansville and there are a couple in Indy but I would be looking at a 45min-2hr.drive. Driving is not an option for me and the meetings are held at night. H works 2nd shift and Pops doesn't allow mom to drive out of town at night. I beat this one 10 ways to tues when I was having such a difficult time accepting my E...I resorted to the National Epilepsy Foundation's online forums to get the help that I needed.
Ya know, I never expected E to have so much control over my life. I have had friends before who had E and it never seemed like it was a big deal. They took their meds and everything was ok. I only saw one of them ever have a seizure but it wasn't anything like the type I have. I EXPECTED my meds to take care of everything and I would go back to work-pick up the manager position I was up for, drive and lead a normal life. No one at any time told me that it might take awhile to control the e or that I might never get it totally under-control. I probably would have done things a lot differently if I had been been better informed early on...namely I might not have married H
