notable people with epilepsy

Posted by lsittll @lsittll, Jun 2, 2020

I read in an earlier Epilepsy Foundation newsletter and elsewhere that several well known persons with epilepsy. Charles Dickens, George Gershwin,
Edgar Allen Poe, Elton John, Prince, Danny Glover, Neil Young, Socrates, Julius Caesar, Pope Pius IX, Julius Caesar, Socrates and Theodore Roosevelt have/have had it, Even Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Alfred Nobel had epilepsy. How about that?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group.

Yes, I’m okay just have swollen and very painful hands/fingers. I tore quite a few ligaments in both hands/fingers from a fall about a month ago and have limited use of them. Hopefully they’ll be all right in a few more months.
My doctor said it would be beneficial if I got a housekeeper, that’s the type of treatment more to my liking.

Talk about ESP I only read about Prince 2 days ago. Hugo Weaving and Tony Gregg also had it - he was an Austalin cricketer. About time people started talking about it
