The the link above will take you to page the Epilepsy Foundation created on their site, and activated it in December 2016 to explain the new classifications of the Epilepsies and all of the epileptic seizure types by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).

Hi all,

I’m a bit confused (as always lol) So my neurologist has sent my clinic letter and stated that I have epilepsy with focal seizures and generalised convulsions.

I have been trying to use My Seizure Diary from epilepsy foundation but finding it difficult to get set up. I just want a systematic way to keep track of my son's seizures. For the last 8 months or so I have just been keeping a log in my notes but would love to view it on a calendar etc and have a way to compare severity and possible triggers etc....
