Comment by Brian P. Lund on January 23, 2012 at 10:51pm:           Hello Serinda

   Where do you currently live? I Live in Casper, WY and I am a board member and Advocate for the Wyoming Epilepsy Association. I myself have had Epilepsy since birth but have been seizure free now 11 1/2 years but It took two Brain Surgeries for me to become seizure free. I am currently still taking one Medication which is Tranxene and it is one 3.75 milligram tablet 3 times a day. I have been doing this since 2001 as the only medication so 11.25 Milligrams of medicine a day. Which has been a dramatic reduction from one I took any other time in my entire life including when I was an infant baby. I have been enjoying life the last 11 years and working a job. I work for Walmart and have for 9 1/2 years and been full time the last 7 1/2. I am Currently a Supervisor over the Cashiers and my title is: CSS which is a Customer Service Supervisor. Our group the Wyoming Epilepsy Association hopes to some day be spread around the Entire state; at this time the head office is in Cheyenne with the rest of the board members, and then I am in Casper. Take care and we are always here. Our Wyoming Epilepsy Association has a Web site and its address is: www.wyomingepilepsy.org. If you would like to view it.

                                Thank You: Brian P. Lund

Comment by Jessica Yager on July 7, 2009 at 5:21pm: I tend to think that we'd be better off just trying to get ahold of Dave Fredenthal. I know it's the representative's job to refer information to him and Congress, but my brother knows Dave (my brother has Downs Syndrome) and he seems to be more open to helping out with this kind of thing than Cynthia Lummis does. I don't know, I guess it depends on the approach your trying to take and the goal at hand.

Comment by Wyo_girl on July 7, 2009 at 5:06pm: I am willing to help as well, just let me know what you need. I am in Laramie.

Comment by Wyoming Epilepsy Assoc on July 7, 2009 at 5:00pm: I will check with our Senators and Representative and findout when they will be in the Cheyenne area

Comment by Wyoming Epilepsy Assoc on July 7, 2009 at 3:16pm: I have no problem meeting with Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis If Jessica wants to we can either do it by phone or meet in Cheyenne with her staff. We could also fly to Washington if EFA would pay 1/2 the Cost

Comment by Wyoming Epilepsy Assoc on July 7, 2009 at 11:35am: We can advocate on a national basis but addressing legislators on a statewide basis sometimes can make changes more effective for people. Then we can find more people in our state to address the national issues.

Comment by Jessica Yager on July 6, 2009 at 10:53pm: I wanna help! I have been discriminated against/lost jobs multiple times due to epilepsy! The ignorance on the issue in our country astounds me...and makes me angry.
