Hi Paul72, read the article in the DT with interest (we live in Derby) my youngest son has epilepsy he was diagnosed when he was 6 years old he is now 26 he also has ocd which has developed over the past 3 years. I just want to wish you , Lisa and your families all the best for the future and sincerely hope that things go well for you all.

Hi lenni, thank-you for your kind comments. I thought Aly Walsh (reporter) explained our story very well as always there was a couple of little tweaks I might have made but I was very pleased with it on the whole. Sorry to hear about your Son, things must be difficult at times for you also. We used to attend the monthly epilepsy action meetings in Derby until I changed my shift patterns at work as Lisa's epilepsy was becoming worse, i'm sure one or two in that group have read it. Feel free to add me on facebook if you use that. I've had so many nice comments from the public, in our village and at work which i never expected. Thanks again and as I've said above Brain Hospital Starts Thursday 6th Feb 2014 on channel 5 (also in HD) 10pm.The four part series has two epilepsy stories in ours is in the second episode (13th Feb), there is another bit going in the telegraph shortly.
