Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 09:59 AMThank you David for sharing your post, the look of sz.
I to agree that there is no look of sz.
We are just like everyone else but we have a secret ,we live with sz.
None of my family or friends know of my illness and even if I told them they wouldn't believe me .
I do not share my symptoms and I have learned through my research of sz that I can differentiate what is real and what isnt.
I live a normal life since I am on 3 different medications that work very well for me, I now function normally.I am raising 3 children and will be getting married again next summer .I have a wonderful life! I am truly grateful for the medications that are out there for us who live with sz.
Thanks once again,
Mimi

Where do those other images come from? The media is one place.
I suggest you keep your new photo as the image that accompanies your SharePosts. It's a beautiful photo.
