Hello All,
My name is Bethanne Brenchley. I have had Epilepsy since I was 6,but
have had the medical help since I was 7 yrs.old. I am now 42yrs old
and I live in a Nursing home. I am hoping to have either another brain
surgery within the next couple of months or to have it controlled with
new medication named Keppa. The specialists say they will know within
a months time if this new drug (with my old one-Tegretol XR) will take
care of me without surgery or if I need the surgery too.
I would like to make some solid friends here and get to know their
stories too. I want to support them as well. Please write me and
become my new friends. I have lots to say and share but I dont believe
in putting others down. I am looking forward to getting to know as
many as wants to know me. Lord Blessings upon all of you. Bethanne
B./Praise
