Beyond my Control – One Man’s Struggle with Epilepsy, Seizure Surgery & Beyond
 
Beyond my Control will take you on a journey of life, living with the highly unpredictable condition known throughout the world as––epilepsy. The uncertainty of never knowing where and when your next seizure may strike creates an enormous amount anxiety for the sufferer. I capture the essence of what it actually feels like to be an epileptic, and how the public’s perception of the condition differs remarkably.
 
I will take you with me, beginning with the arduous, frustrating task of searching for a diagnosis and treatment. Once diagnosed, I met my wife to be and started a business. The roller coaster ride begins....
 
Beyond my Control is a very personal story, highlighting how intrusive, and the complexities that epilepsy adds to a person’s life. Concluding with the life-altering decision to undergo two major brain operations that I hoped would provide freedom from a life of instability, danger, and stares from strangers.
 
After reading Beyond my Control, I am confident that you will not only understand, but actually be able to feel what it is like to suffer from this insidious condition which affects millions of people––epilepsy.

Truly a story for all. Educational, personal and well written. The best part....a love story within the book of Stuarts lovely wife Lisa, and her battle to save him. I have read this book twice, and within his struggles, he manages some humor. I recommend this to any person in need of an adjustment in their lives concerning their own struggles. He truly battled..and WON!

I read this book, and I can tell anyone first hand...it is a book that you don't want to put down. If you do or do not know anything about this illness, the reader will be awakened (in private) to answers that they never would have posed in public. It brought me understanding and also enlightened me to the pain and suffering that you and your loved ones endure, and how love can strengthen you through that journey. I hope others will read this book..it is an education for sure; yet it is a story of love, romance, finances, family, and mystery.... you are a hero... hugs, lindalaw
