Hi sisse46,

How old are these young ladies? Do they understand your ep?

I have had ep since '75. Brain surgery in '02. I worked with kids for about 20 yrs.

Are you seizures so severe that you fear hurting or scaring them. If so, what can you do with them that will eliminate this concern?

If they are old enough to understand what to do/not do,or recognize when one is happening, this should ease your concerns.

Talk with them about it. Answer their questions. Kids are a lot smarter than many people give them credit for. They are also more willing to learn than us 'educated' adults.

Is this your concern or their parents'?

honey, its all how you handle it. I have dealt with this since i was born and i have 5 grandchildren. dont be afraid to spend time with your grandchildren. I am now 48 and i do everything. just take care to know when stress is happening to your body, ie., monthly, cold, not feeling well, chronic pain can trigger your seizures and just take it easy that day or days . for me it could take a whole week or weeks sometimes before i can do my normal routine.
