Anxiety and panic seem to play an integral role in them, but that's all we really know. As for how it started, it just sort of happened one day when she was a child. No family history hinted at it, there was no injury, no drug exposure, nothing. It just... happened.
They may have the technology now, what with the advent of epidural and subdural nodes for the EEG scans. But we want to wait a couple more years for those to develop further. Last time she went in for surgery (before we met), it was absolutely fruitless and a lot of trouble for no results. So she wants to be quite certain that she'll be able to come out of it treated before she goes under the knife again.
And I really fucking hope they get these guys, just on principle alone. If there's a class action suit or any such, she'll have no part in it for having not gone on their website. But still, they deserve to suffer either way. |
thank god that, so far, there were no cases reported of anyone actually suffering seizures, just a few close calls, but that's like shooting at someone with intent to kill and missing, the intent alone is enough to get you in prison. i consider it a victory that no one suffered more than temporary discomfort, their sick experiment was a bust. i pray that they're NOT smarter than the fbi. i know squat about computers but i'd hope this is easy to track, and the fact that there were no victims is irrelevant because of the nature of their intentions.
