Epilepsy Gangster
This series features inspiring individuals who are living happy, productive, and socially-active lives despite their epilepsy. Their ages and professions are varied, as do all types of seizures they have: tonic-clonic (gran-mal), complex partial (petit-mal), absence, and focal. Guests have productive lives while being treated with medication, devices like Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS), Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS), and lobectomy surgery. Epilepsy has cost many their jobs, but they’ve found new ones, changed careers, got new laws passed, or started their own companies. Another segment of each episode tells the story of a famous person who had epilepsy. Be encouraged to become an epilepsy warrior with the realization that you may have epilepsy, but epilepsy doesn’t have you!

I had my 3rd and final driving lesson. It was on speedy, dangerous I-285 that circles Atlanta. Cars drive between 55 and 80 mph, and semis on both sides. It was like the road where I last drove in 1991. I'll admit it was scary, but I did great!

This Purple Day is very exciting after nearly 60 years of epilepsy. Younger, newer people would be relieved to see how epilepsy has changed in my lifetime. It went from secretive hiding and persecution & discrimination was much worse than today. Now, we have a relative abundance of meds to try, amazing surgery, and government protection of our jobs. Take it from an old man: Our community is treated better than it used to be, and with every purple shirt, with every revelation about your epilepsy to someone naive, we are getting closer to the world we want! Bless you all!

Hey People! Tonight at 8 is my 22months seizure-free. But last night I awoke from one of those REAL nightmares that was too realistic to be for certain that it wasn't for real. I dreamed that I had one of my ole' complex-partials after such a long time. The fact that I had gone so long made it more frightening than it used to be to come out of them. I just pray I can make my 2-year milestone and go beyond. May you all be seizure-free.

Alternative treatments to epilepsy’s conventional medications and surgeries do exist. See how stem cell treatment saved the lives of two boys of a single family, and how chiropractic treatment—for back injuries caused by a seizure in a hospital—actually led to a woman’s improvement.
