No one is an "epileptic". Some people have epilepsy, or acquire epilepsy. First thing to remember is that you are not immune.
It's honestly not an insult to call a person with epilepsy, an epileptic-a person with diabetes a diabetic-a person with arthritis an arthritic-a sightless person blind-a non-hearing person deaf-a voiceless person mute, etc., etc., and is seldom taken as an insult by the victems of those conditions.
It's just that the paranoid homosexuals who demand we call them gays,the liberal Democrats who insist we call them progressives,the pro-abortionists who demand we call them pro-choice,the pro-terrorists who demand we call them enlightened patriots, the MSM that demands we call them unbiased, dark hued Americans who demand we call them Latinos, darker hued Americans who demand we call them African-Americans;are all so busy inventing and inviting so many new victems into their kookamania version of victemhood, that they failed to notice that their supply of
aleged victimizers, have become so much more of a minority than their accusers that one need not wind up waist deep in liberal bull feces to recognize it for what it is.
I always considered myself an epileptic since the diagnosis at age 6. I am well aware of titling it differently(e.g. seizure disorder, person w/ epilepsy, etc...) Frankly, I've always referred to myself as an epileptic(when asked about it) and never felt any shame in doing so.
