I was diagnosed with the disorder 52 years ago, and am presently controlled with my medications. In addition, I am curious, Susan, as to whether you or a part of your family might live across the road from us in Woodland Shores, Bridgman, MI. We have neighbors of that name. If you are one and the same person, I would look forward to meeting you and discussing how epilepsy has influenced our families' lives. Thank you.

We have a 32-year-old daughter,Vidya Menon, who was born "normal", developed seizures at 30 months, and from then onwards, it has been a long drawn struggle with her intractable epilepsy. Hats off to mothers like Susan Axelrod. I was greatly moved by her valiant struggle with her Lauren"s epilepsy. Krishna Menon Hyderabad India This article was very inspiring.

It brought back many sad memories for me as I, too, had a child born in 1978 who developed uncontrollable seizures at 8 months of age. He, unfortunately, died at age 4 from a seizure. I also found it very coincidental that my maiden name is Landau and that I am originally from the Chicago area. I wonder if I am related to Susan Axelrod and that we share some genetic makeup that may have led to our children's seizure disorders? Is there any way I could email Susan Axelrod to find out if there is a connection between us? I read the article “I must save my child” by Melissa Fay Greene in Parade Magazine with great interest.
