He had 102 seizures during 1860-1881, that's about one seizure every 2-3 months, this is the frequency I have seizure too, it's all grand mal seizure.

I want to help those people with epilepsy someday with some kinds of technology somehow, I know they are all leading a hard life in this world, inclulding myself.
