the second most common neurological condition after migraine. In
the past, when little was understood about epilepsy, those of us
with it often faced quite a bit of prejudice. Thankfully these
attitudes are changing in the UK. However, we may still come
across those who try to limit our opportunities in life through
fear or lack of knowledge. |
