I would probably be ashamed of epilepsy if I had it. Don't take that to mean that I would be look down on others that have it.
As strange as it sounds I would rather people think I have a drug problem rather than know what I am actually dealing with. I have a bad tremor in my right foot and hand that makes my whole leg & arm shake. I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to get a hair cut and the stylist asks you to stop shaking. I guess it goes back to a man should always be in control of his emotions.
