ROBERT SAYS:
This is amazing! How God uses anyone - through just the buying of a book on E Bay! Just doing a Google search - looking for books on epilepsy! Everything else seemed to be from the dozens to hundreds of pounds sterling! This one was only £5 on E Bay! Second hand! So I thought, "Well, let's find out what this is about! The maximum I could lose was only £5 - that's not that much! Seems a little bit of a strange title!" (When something that I was looking for was something more medical - I was trying to beat the doctors and was doing a good job at it already, because each time I was going into the specialists' office, I was getting that stare from the specialist and the question "Good morning Robert - There's no more medication on the market left for you! How can we help you today!" with an attitude of despair! I had become one of those 5% of very difficult to treat patients whom they didn't know what to do with!)
So I got this book! It came through the door - already signed to someone else by the author! I had a quick look at it - and realized I had made a mistake, because what I was looking for was something medically focused on epilepsy - not a novel or fiction, like this seemed to be! I wanted to learn more about my epilepsy - not a storybook! I chucked it on the pile of unread books and carried on with life! Within a few months, it was still on top of the pile and I said to myself with a bit of guilt and embarrassment - "do a good deed by reading it!" So I decided to do this by forcing to slump on the sofa and start reading! As I continued to read, I realized it was someone's story of how they had actually decided to live with their epilepsy and instead of giving up, to learn more about it and use their life positively for the benefit of helping other people to live with their epilepsy and use it as a learning experience to help others! It started to catch my mind and my heart and by the end of reading it - I was glad I had it and thought that I might like to get in touch with this author somewhere!
So I started searching Google and Facebook again! After a few days I realized I had actually found this same person! I was delighted and took the courage of getting in touch with him! We started talking and realized that we had so much in common and so much to learn from each other! Within four months a friendship has turned up which only God has provided! Spread the word around about the epilepsy you have! So many people have epilepsy who don't even know they have it or don't know what it is! Encourage other people with your story and help them fight the epilepsy! THE EPILEPSY DOESN'T HAVE TO BEAT YOU! YOU CAN BEAT IT! Help others live with it and learn more about it Sad that so many people put people with epilepsy on the back burner and pull away from epilepsy - they are scared of it - because you look normal! You speak normally, walk normally look normal! But suddenly your body can go crazy and you are not in control! You are normal - it’s just the electrodes in your brain that get an extra boost of energy every now and then! HELP OTHER PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH YOUR EPILEPSY BY ENCOURAGING THEM WITH YOUR STORY! Create a village of people for the purpose of encouraging and helping each other! The more it helps, the more it will spread! Wonderful! The Village has no limits!
