I started writing my first blog back in 2003 using a Tripod (Lycos) hosted free website. It looked awful. It counted 3 articles. I abandoned it quickly. Afterwards, I had other tries, none with more success. I moved around from Blogger to WordPress and another few platform just to get the feel of it.

Email me at codrin.po@gmail.com to get in touch if you want to write a guest blog post.

They actually give a very comprehensive list of diseases/disorders to “choose from“. The list includes epilepsy too. Continue reading “Epilepsy and employment” →
