Sorry but it is a program

Sorry but it is a program tehy have on this site. Along with apps that you can use on ipads and notepads. This site has other things that cn be helpful. I kinda steer clear of some things like the gadgets and apps I may be old school to some but hey I have ol=nly been living and dealing with epilepsy for 50+ years. Oh and you might also go to the get help section and start with epilepsy 101. You might find some things interesting. Like absence seizures since they are petite mal seizures. The person having one may and at time look like they are day dreaming. I think all those notes from the teacher saying I was day dreaming in class were seizures. Like about 2 years worth

All I was after was the diary

All I was after was the diary which I use. I have no idea what else they have but I am sure they have all kinds of things that are helpful. For me I just use the diary to keep up with ,y seizures and my meds. I hate gadgets. I don't want a smart phone since it might be smarter then I am. My Nokio 6010 still works and all I got it for was to make and recieve calls when I am away from home You do know alot tho and I always read what you post since types of epilepsy and types of seizures came about when neurologists went into specialization. My old neuro introduced me to a new one after I got back to Dallas. He was specializing in ALZ. I have been with the same group of neurologists since 1970
