i know this is definitely true for me. i was on a crusade a little while ago after first being diagnosed to take what medical background i had and expand that to find out what truly causes sz and how to fix it. but, given my lack of motivation, we can say that's fizzled out and led to nothing.
as far as philosophy goes. i think a lot of people start thinking, "why me?" and that leads to even bigger questions and people start digging. i know i have a ton of questions now, and god knows the p-docs and Ts aren't helpful in answering them.
