I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 6 months old and have lived with it all my life! I have been struggling to cope with life as I also have learning difficulties, Autism, Schizophrenia and have just been told I have Sensory Neuropathy which is making life even more of a battle! I am unable to work even for you epilepsy action even though I accident ticked yes when I was doing your survey! I am not going to ever going to be able to work as I can lose feeling in my limbs at any time for any amount of time! I am also in pain a lot and when I lose feeling in my limbs I get tingling next to the numb limb! Ella Martin!
