Providing Early Seizure Warnings to Those Living with Epilepsy
Mon, 10/08/2018 - 06:23There is estimated to be around between 1.3M and 2.8M people living with epilepsy in the United States, with over 1 in 26 developing the condition sometime in their lifetime1. According to a recent study from the Journal of Epilepsy and Behavior, deaths caused by epilepsy have increased by 47% from 2005 to 20142. Some of these deaths are due to complications during and after the seizure, while others are due to accidents such as falls or drowning.

To be honest i think

To be honest i think statistics can be interpretated in many ways depending how a person wants them to.I mean almost every day someone comes out with statistics that contradict the previous ones .I have learn to take them all with a pinch of salt and not really concern myself with them.I think that's the case with most people too.As for epilepsy itself well I have had it for 21 years and am no nearer to getting a positive solution in any way and in fact its getting worse.The truth is no one really knows enough about epilepsy to know for certain how to go about "curing" it if that is even possible..But science is making progress every day of course but I think all these statistics are just pie in the sky to be honest as no one knows how much truth comes from them

Are those accidents cause by the person having seizure or could it be the fall itself? Just what kind of criteria is used to determine such events?Death is a fact of life. Do people die of a heart attack or are their deaths in accidents counted as a heart disease?
