I have a seizure disorder (epilepsy) so I know just how crazy daily life can get, attempting to accommodate a medical condition that is not kind. That you were able to learn of a surgery that could help your condition, that could immeasurably improve the quality of your life, is awesome. Bugs me, though, that the doctors you'd been seeing weren't aware of that possibility/brought it up with you. Glad things are now so much better for you, though!

That was hours ago. I read it all. I'd have commented more, but Blogger wouldn't let me post, as it so often does not. Finally, frustrated enough to take the time once and for all to figure it out, I found a Blogger forum post that has eluded me over the last several months and found a fix for the problem.<br /><br />I've posted three comments, but must run now. I'll follow you and, hopefully, this fix will remain in place and I'll be able to post comments next time.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story.graceonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600679221472546269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-48335349189336217892011-09-29T11:28:01.021-05:002011-09-29T11:28:01.021-05:00I am so pleased that you listened to your instinct...I am so pleased that you listened to your instincts that day and found this surgeon who could help you. I love the part where you talk about the fact that the occasional acute episode now puts everything into perspective. What a terrific view! It is hard not to experience those moments as frustrating and unfair and rail against them, but you have found a perspective that incorporates this disease into your life without ruling it. That is inspiring.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-4988348179137242982011-09-26T20:14:49.286-05:002011-09-26T20:14:49.286-05:00Dee,

You were divinely directed to stop at Curves. Things like that happen to me often, too and I just say, "Thank you." I am so happy for you that you have your life back.
