Mexican female doctor has epilepsy

Epilepsy is a worldwide problem.  As I’ve mentioned before, in some parts of the world, the stigma of having seizures is still a huge hurdle.  In Mexico, people are still afraid of it and do not feel comfortable talking about it.

There is a female physician named Amparo who has epilepsy and has gone through great challenges trying to get her seizures under control.  You can read her story here.  (http://oneintwentysix.com/2014/11/03/amparo-a-physician-in-mexico-with-epilepsy/?blogsub=confirming#blog_subscription-2)


It is truly inspiring.  She is making her mission to create awareness about and to stop discrimination toward people with epilepsy.
