Thanks for providing such an interesting list, @lsittll! I had no idea that all of these people had epilepsy. It shows that intellect and creativity can co-exist with epilepsy!

The literature also shows that Socrates would not let his epilepsy get in the way of his life. That is me for sure! I have had many trials with my epilepsy for 53 years and in life in general,l , I only persist. I let NOTHING interfere with my life!

I appreciate you sharing both your information as well as your attitude, @lsittll!

Any time @hopeful. I just am someone who does not give up. People say to me, "Laurie how do you do it?'. For some reason or other I just brush things a side. Things happen,they happen, I cannot control them. Sure I do get discouraged in between but somehow or other I do not give up!

In a book, I'm reading about a man with epilepsy he said that after recovering from a seizure he would be more mentally alert and creative. During his college days, he could accomplish a lot after seizure recovery. I'm just wondering if anyone else with epilepsy has had that experience?
