Not the sensible approach.
|
My first objection to this book is its use of the term 'an epileptic'. People aren't epileptics, but the various aspects of the condition are ('epileptic fit' etc.) This is hanging a dreary label round your neck.
And 'dreary' is the best I can say about this book. I've had epilepsy for 45 years and learned long ago that the best way to deal with it is to let it influence your life as little as possible. I have two degrees despite it, and professional qualifications.
And I very much object to the references to praying in the morning that an attack won't occur. If it does, too bad. Just stand up again. It's more than 2,000 years since the notion there's something spiritual about epilepsy was scotched. We don't need it back again. If epilepsy has something spiritual about it, then so does dandruff or flu. I had this absurd nonsense thrown at me during my marriage by ex-in-laws. My advice: read someone like Karen Armstrong instead. Despite the title, you soon will be alone, deservedly.
