Forgive the interruption and for going off-topic.
This post is intended to be informational only. I certainly don't expect everyone to be up to date on current Epilepsy terminology. But as a person with Epilepsy (Not an “Epileptic”) I'd like to briefly discuss a couple of words that were mentioned earlier related to Epilepsy. The words “fits” and “Epileptic.”
The word “fits” is inaccurate and has negative connotations as does “Epileptic” since it is a defining and stigmatizing label. A great number of people find these words offensive who have the condition. Additionally, “fits” describes only convulsive seizures which only account for 25% of all seizures.
Thank you for your understanding,
Jake

You're trying to focus by redirection to find fault with observations when they aren't wrong..to draw attention away from the facts that are right.. there is NO category where one label fits all, just listing contributing possibilities that the individual can consider, each individual has different conflicting illnesses and ALL illnesses have effects between each other and change appearances of each illness which is determined by nutrition and amount of exercise and environmental exposure..
