People who live with epilepsy or with a loved one who has epilepsy should be aware that epilepsy occasionally can be fatal.

People with epilepsy often worry about whether their thinking and memory are going to get worse over time.

A recent review article by Lee and Chung in Epilepsy & Behavior 2010, volume 18, pages 139-50, has critically examined the scientific evidence about selected supplements.

Women often report worsening of their seizures in association with menstrual cycles.

Tune in Thursday night the 26th at 7:00pm, Pacific time for an exclusive interview with Danny Cooksey, featuring the songs from his band "Arbuckle".

Seizure First Aid – Teaching others what to do - Do you ever worry that others won’t know what to do if you, or your loved one, have a seizure? If so, it’s time to have a Seizure Plan - a tool that helps you share important information about your seizures and what to do for seizure first aid. Seizure Plans give you a way to let others know when you need emergency help and what can be done to prevent this from happening! My Epilepsy.com’s Seizure Plan can now be created online using My Epilepsy Diary. The information you’ve already entered for types of seizures and medications can be automatically filled in from your diary, then you complete the rest! You can review it with your doctor and nurse, then print it out and share it with anyone you want. Keep one at home in a handy place for other family members to use, give one to a teacher, babysitter, camp counselor, coworker, friend, or grandparent…. whoever may be in a position to help during a seizure. Since summer time is a upon us, Seizure Plans are a great way to help people with seizures stay safe at camp, on vacations, and at home. Click here to visit My Epilepsy Diary - go to Reports and start creating your Seizure Plan today! |

"It is a gift to me. It means a lot to me personally. I want people to know that you can have epilepsy and you can succeed."
