My Bio

My name is stephanie i am 26 yrs old. I have a wonderful husband who has accepted me with my medical condition. I have had seizures for almost 11 years, they started on 12-02-1998 while i was sleeping. About 3-4 yrs later they stopped happening while i sleeping and started while i am awake. I was finally diagnosed with full blown epilepsy on 9-3-09 at St. Lukes in houston texas. i hate having them, but what can i do...
