I was rejected by the whole school and I couldn't tell my parents or report anywhere, am working but still healing from the wounds of rejection, no friends, no husband, only family, I still prefer seating alone because of the stigma, fortunately thanks to medicines and God for reducing the fits

Am in Uganda, northern but most of the epileptic cases are on the streets and taking a lot of liquor then convulse later

It was not one year but six years, then the community who know you, had to reject you not to be friends with their children

Thank you for the study but what can we do apart from sensitizing about the myths, anyway I accepted the situation and take my medication well

Have you asked a Neurologist about the possibility of surgery or ketogenic diet? I had my Seizure Tumor surgically removed when I was a Kid.
