Looking for a Support Group in the South Bay Area of California
Fri, 02/08/2019 - 00:57Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hey Ladies,
Does anyone know of a support group in the Los Angeles area? Or are there any ladies that are in the area? With so many different social network apps I never seem to find ladies in my area who are living with epilepsy.
Wishing everyone all the best.

Not necessarily epilepsy but there is a foundation that does offer support to patients with similar diagnoses (that I’m sure would be a wonderful community to connect with, I’m starting with them 19 September) that’s called the Joe Niekro Foundation and should provide an opportunity near your area if I remember correctly. Wishing you the best and give a shout if I can be of any more help. X
