Now is a good time to write

You might write something that helps all mankind if you write it and publish it during these times especially if you can't work at your normal job or business that you own.

So, not just writing but also publishing might help people now. For me, it's not about making money because I'm okay. It's about sharing things and insights that you might have that might help people survive all this and come out the other side in one piece.

Many people are struggling.

I'm lucky that I've had enough adversity in my life that I can kind of take all this in stride.

For others this will be a very very rude awakening if they haven't faced anything serious like this before.

For me, I almost died from whooping cough and then I almost died from Blunt Trauma childhood epilepsy.

When I was reading the article about Lake Bell's daughter having epilepsy I felt I wanted to write something about my experiences with Epilepsy in the hope it might help her daughter.

However, then I thought through and realized all my problems like this ended at age 15 because mine was caused by a blow to the head. At the time everyone was very ignorant about all this even doctors. So, no doctor told me that I had blunt trauma childhood epilepsy so I was wondering what had happened to me. I didn't know that what I had wasn't hereditary from (where I didn't know) because no one spoke of anything like this in either side of my family. So, it wasn't until my son got a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing when he told me I had to have only had blunt trauma childhood epilepsy because this is the only kind you can grow out of.

So, I don't know whether a blow to the head is what happened to Lake Bell's daughter or not or whether this is hereditary or what it is.

But, I do know that being epileptic from any cause tends to make people very intuitive and gifted just trying to survive all this.

You can either die from this kind of stuff or you can change how you think about it. For me, it made me an intuitive and very special in many ways. I am very gifted partly from having childhood epilepsy which is blunt trauma always because it is the only kind you can grow out of by usually 15 when your cranium grows enough to relieve the pressure from the initial blow to the head.

My father wouldn't allow any medications and then there was only phenobarbital which was a terrible drug to begin with because of side effects. So, in some ways I'm grateful my father wouldn't let me take that stuff in the 1950s when my seizures began around 1958. So, I was having seizures ONLY AT NIGHT when I was asleep from 1958 until 1963 and then they stopped ever after.
