I know -- some of us perhaps all have that feeling that maybe we were born too early. But that doesn't mean hard work cannot make the quality of life of someone suffering from a biochemical disorder better still at the moment. Because we live in the here and now.
Yes -- I remember an acquaintance who often hid epilepsy but it was rather noticeable when young, that yes "the demons were posessing" him. Now much older, he takes a regime of medication but he can never stop them because he has been on the AEDs so long that he could go into a coma or something of the like. Always consequences for things but that's better than not having it under control.-- tidings
