I know exactly where you are coming from! When I was 7 I was diagnosed with epilepsy, grand mal seizure, woke up in the hospital same story as yours. but, when I was a child (now I'm 53) people treated me like it was the plaque. Kids were not allowed to play with me because their parents thought it was contagious! I didn't ride my first roller coaster until I was your age, risky behaviour and I don't recommend it. The point is things have come a long way and out of the dark ages. Hang in there and know that your friends will over look your problem and those who don't the heck with them! You can still participate in life, get out there and try!
