These are just a couple links I bookmarked

My past neurologists and today Epileptologists always explained to me what type of Epilepsy and the kinds of seizures that I have relating to my Epilepsy. I was also told that many of my struggles with memory, comprehension, talking and slurring, slow motor skills, dealing with learning and ect , is all part of living with Epilepsy.

If it wasn’t from my Dr. it was also from my Epilepsy Support Groups. I learned that, there are different forms of Epilepsy and many other kinds of seizures. Finding out how similar but different we all are , with our Epilepsy. Between the staff and my group , they all helped me overcome and cope with those many struggles with epilepsy. Our Epilepsy, and the big package that’s rolled up in ball, full of extra FACTS OF LIFE . You either fight and be positive and face up to the challenge or let it all take you down , where you feel depressed , sad , worthless and the many other negative emotions.

I follow my number one rule . I control my life not Epilepsy. There are just many speed bumps in the way and have to find my way over them.

I had a wonderful neurologist who helped me so much (he’s moved now and I have to find another). My aunt was epileptic so my mom knew a lot about it. I’m sorry you’ve had to experience this.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, check with the Epilepsy Foundation in your state. Ask the about books and DVDs on Epilepsy.
