Anorexia Nervosa is well behind me now, and I have been seizure free for eight years---a very fortunate guy.
Oh that's really cool and i was reading about your life just now on the website and i'm sorry that you epilepsy and i didn't know you had a eating disorder

Funny thing has happened since I read your book... I find myself hearing more people talking about epilepsy. I always make sure to mention your book. Thanks for stopping by my page. With school being back in full swing- things have gotten very busy around the Kulman home. I hope everything is going well with my favorite Aussie Author!
Life got in the way, so I haven't finished your book yet. I do find myself thinking about situations, and events that I've read about thus far, and can't wait to return to reading your incredible story once again.Your Friend, Kathy
