The surprise of epilepsy as a songwriter loses his music | September 13, 2025

I always quote how music soothes your seizures.

But what about when it stops and the agony begins?

Read Mike Frazier’s amazing account about how he discovered he had epilepsy and his long but victorious road home.

    I can’t access the article. It’s asking for payment. Is there a way around this?

    Thank you,

      Oh Kristi

      I’m so very sorry!

      It came up for me, but perhaps it’s my browser.

      I can’t print the whole article it’s way too long.

      But basically, it’s a story of epilepsy and subsequent surgery that brought this man’s life (and songwriting) back to him.
