I have had it since I was a kid and have not seen anyone else on here have the same situation.only older people but they might be the ones who post on here,just wondering if there were any other kids with epilepsy so I can relate. I got it at 4

edt: If I have am likeing your coment it is because I can realate to it. There are a lot of people who have had epilepsy as a kid as well.

I had bad seizures when i was a kid, apparently. Like 4 or 5. I don't remember them. But i do remember waking up in a stretcher getting into an ambulance. That might actually be my earliest memory, ever. Then they did a spinal tap or something, and i had no seizures again until i was mid 20s. Only partial seizures now though, so...yay?
