| recently found out I have epilepsy I had been having seizure for quite some time. My neuro had me on many different meds. I had a grand mal and the ambulance came. My yorkies are helping me stay happy, but I don't know what to do. This is all new to me. I can't drive and my daughter has seen them. |

| I am sorry to hear about your seizures. I have heard, however, that if you're on a mediction that prevents you from having seizures, your doctor can submit a letter to the DMV, and they can give you special allowances to drive. Yorkies are so great to have around....they make everyone happy! |

| Yorkies are great to have around when you are sick. They are so comforting and lovable. I'm sure there are forums out there for people with epilepsy, perhaps they have some kind of support group. |

| hang in there. my sister, cousin, two aunts, and my daughter who is two have epilepsy. i know it can be scary but do not let it control your life. take your meds, let your neighboros know they can help if they need too and see your doctor. ask questions. my sister found out when she turned 18. now at 37 she has a seizer about 3 to 4 times a week. my aunt has not had one in 20 years. keep your head up and love your dogs. dogs also can predict the onset of a spell. sometimes they act weird. when my daughter is about to have a seizer our bernese paces. i will keep you in my thoughts |

| awwwwwwww im sorry , but like someone else said, a lot of times dogs act strangely right before an onset of a seizure, so pay attention to youre furbabies and you might have some warning before one happens..... |
