This book is about my life and my struggle against epilepsy and three kinds of seizures. I lived with this deadly disorder for more than 40 years before becoming 100% seizure free at the age of 45 through neurosurgery. The book highlights on how my life was affected by epilepsy in many ways before surgery and how it changed drastically after surgery. Epilepsy took a huge toll on my life and health and infact ruined my career and didn’t allow me to come up in life. It also didn’t allow me to live in peace and happiness because of different kinds of recurrent seizures that can strike at anytime, anywhere or at any place. Epilepsy brought lot of difficulties and embarrassment from others and became a burden not only to me throughout my life but also affected many people, my parents, relatives, society, superiors and colleagues of all the organizations where I worked. Epilepsy that was my friend and ruled the whole period of my life before surgery became my foe immediately after my surgery. With its downfall my life has changed drastically such that I am not only seeing huge difference in my health but also massive changes in my family, in my outlook, at home, at work place and particularly in my life. I have seen more than 50 changes in my life after surgery which cannot be easily expressed in words. In writing this book I wish to create awareness for epilepsy sharing my surgery experiences and the difference in life for the wellbeing of underutilized patients who have been completely lost. Sending a message about surgery benefits through this book will open the eyes of the blind and will help them to see that one day they too can follow my steps and lead others out of darkness

LET'S TALK ABOUT EPILEPSY BY Ann Marie Gillie If you don't believe in yourself than who will? I have come a very long way in life over the past 9 years and I owe it to all of those that believed in me, that stood behind me even when I was at my lowest point. I am a survivor of "Brain Surgery" yes, but more importantly I am a BELIEVER which means that I can do what ever I put my mind to. Writing Let's Talk About Epilepsy came about for me after getting such an amazing response from my first book, If Walls Could Talk: Don't let epilepsy control you! In this new book I am very pleased and honored to share some incredible stories from others that also made a life altering decision, which was to have brain surgery. It is amazing how similar we all are and it doesn't matter our ages, nationalities or where we live in the world; we seem to have a bond with one another and it feels great! Along with some personal experiences with epilepsy, I passed out some questions for whoever chose to answer them, questions like; how many different meds have you been on for your seizures? Did epilepsy affect your education, either elementary, high school or college/university? Did or does having epilepsy affect any specific relationships in your life? Have you ever gone for a second opinion? I had some great answers to all these questions; I did throw my own answers in as well, of course! I think the inspiration in this book is going to help those out there that struggle with epilepsy in their own life; it is unfortunate that not everyone has a place to go, talk or feel safe in when it comes to their epilepsy or seizures, but I hope after reading these incredible stories that you will find a place, or support group that fits what you need; that your life will become more positive than you could of imagined. I know from my own personal experience that support is the key when it comes to almost everything in one's life, sometimes we just might need a bit of a nudge to get it! BELIEVE in yourself!!

Stuart Ross McCallum shares a true account of his battle with epilepsy-beginning with the peculiar sensations he experienced as a teenager that led to his diagnosis and concluding with his eventual recovery from a temporal lobe lobectomy. McCallum vividly describes his twenty-year journey of living with epilepsy and how this unpredictable disease has not only impacted his life but the lives of everyone around him. For years he operated a business and managed his staff while battling an ever-increasing number of seizures. As his condition worsened and his postseizure responses became more intense, he was often prone to violent outbursts that threatened his safety as well as the safety of those in his inner circle. McCallum shares how the perception of the disease and the socially unacceptable behaviors that occurred as a result of his seizures eventually forced him to risk everything-he made the life-altering decision to undergo two brain operations that he hoped would provide freedom from a life of instability, danger, and stares from strangers. Beyond My Control provides an honest, emotional look into a highly complex and often misunderstood condition and how one man's perseverance helped him break through the darkness to find hope on the other side.

She faced physical, emotional, and spiritual trials while trying to keep up with the academic requirements of her degree program. Then in her junior year of college, God opened doors for her to put her epilepsy behind her and gain a better quality of life. Amy had the opportunity to find out if she was a candidate for brain surgery. After undergoing medical tests, she was informed that she had the most operable type of epilepsy. The decision to have brain surgery was up to her. Amy writes from her heart as she shares how God worked in her life and brought her to where she is today. Amy has three college degrees and is a special-education teacher. As you read her story, you will be inspired by her faith in God and determination to overcome her obstacles. She brings to light the truth of God's promise that He will never leave us or forsake us.

"Well written and fascinating to read. This fine book takes a large step in...contributing to the only slowly dawning awareness of the general public, and the health workers too, of the significance of chronic illness." --Anselm Strauss, University of California, San Francisco Based on in-depth interviews with eighty people who have epilepsy, this book gives a first-hand account of what it is like to cope with a chronic illness, while working, playing, and building relationships. The authors recount how people discover they have epilepsy and what it means; how families respond to someone labeled "epileptic"; how seizures affect a person's sense of self and self-control. Epilepsy patients explain what they want from their doctors and why the medication practices they develop may not coincide with "doctor's orders." The variety of experiences of epilepsy is suggested both by the interviews and by the range of terms for seizures--Petit Mal, Grand Mal, auras, fits, absences. The principal difficulty for many people with epilepsy is not the medical condition but the social stigma. A person with epilepsy has to cope with discrimination in obtaining a job, insurance, or a driver's license, and he or she may be cautious about revealing this "disabling" condition to an employer or even a spouse. People with epilepsy may manage information about themselves and their "lapses" and look for "safe places" like restrooms where they can be alone should a seizure begin. Many of those interviewed complained of overreactions to seizures by colleagues or bystanders: epilepsy patients were embarrassed at having provoked a public crisis or were annoyed at waking up in a hospital emergency room. This is a book for people who have epilepsy, for their families and friends; for health care professionals who deal with chronic illnesses; and for students of medical sociology and the sociology of deviance. "For anyone who would like to 'get inside' the experience of having epilepsy, this book is probably as close as one can come." --Epilepsia "In dispelling the notion that 'the person is the illness,' these interviews with 80 individuals reveal that those suffering from epilepsy have learned to accept it as merely another facet of their lives. A valuable contribution for those with epilepsy, for their family and friends, for medical personnel, and for the general public." --Booklist "...carefully outlined and clearly written.... Those affected by chronic conditions may find the book most helpful.... Family and helping professionals may discover new insights.... Social scientists, especially those interested in chronic illnesses, will benefit from the research conclusions and suggestions for further research." --Medical Anthropology Quarterly "It represents an important advance in the medical sociology literature as well as a contribution to qualitative sociology. I think that the book should become a contemporary classic in medical sociology." --Qualitative Sociology "...an important contribution.... In focusing on what it is like to have epilepsy in this society, Schneider and Conrad have reversed an earlier concern for the medicalization of deviance, opting in this work for an understanding of the stigmatization of illness." --Contemporary Sociology
