Summary
Epilepsy is a lightning storm in the brain - shocking isn't it. A photographer friend once said that epilepsy is a shocking development. Seizures are silent, unless you saw them having a seizure or they told you that they had epilepsy you'd never know. That is why it is called the hidden disability or hidden handicap.
Mr. Miller now has had epilepsy for 43 years and four months and has gained, unwanted by him, epilepsy expertise. He might not know it all but darn it all, he's an expert, been both a physical and Online support group leader (12 years total), a contact person about vagal nerve stimulator for Minnesota Epilepsy Group for one year, and a contact person for the Western Wisconsin Epilepsy Center for two years.
Mr. Miller can speak on disability sexuality, coping, trust, acceptance, hostility, and though he really doesn't care for psych people, about mental health and what it's like being diagnosed as mentally ill, with active paranoid schizophrenia, anxiety syndrome, panic attacks, controversial myths about epilepsy, what it's like living with memory loss due to brain atrophy caused by chronic anticonvulsant use.
