The doctor gave me several warnings: Never tell anyone unless necessary, because I might be ostracized. Call it ‘seizure disorder,’ not epilepsy, because fewer people would be frightened. Try to choose a profession as free from stress as possible. Kurt Eichenwald Read Quote

There have been times that I have found myself in places, and I don’t know how I got there, and I don’t actually know where I am. Kurt Eichenwald Read Quote
According to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, there are more than two million Americans with epilepsy. Half have what I have, idiopathic epilepsy, meaning there is no known cause for the seizures. Kurt Eichenwald Read Quote
