Well, I'm a 31 year old single mother of 3 who has been having complex partial seizures for many years but was just diagnosed March this year. I am having a hard time with the notion of trying medicines that will make my quality of life worst and make it difficult for me to be an active parent to my kids. I have not tried many but it scares me. I will continue to be as positive as i can be. I have faith that I can figure out what can not only stop the seizures but allow me to live a healthy and happy life. That's my prayer for all you "patients like me"
