The Australian Epilepsy Project https://epilepsyproject.org.au/ is competing against 9 other projects for government funding. It is a popularity contest between illnesses for this funding
Because epilepsy is an unseen illness, it doesn't have a high profile like many other conditions and needs all the research and treatment help it can get! If you are in Australia, email your MP to support it and Greg Hunt, Health Minister as the website requests.

Every couple of years I have seizures then my Dr wants to try something new or ups the dosage. The meds I'm on now are making me dizzy and off balance
What's the difference between the 2?
I have Tonic-Clonic seizures every 2 weeks. I'm 51 and have been having them for 10 years now.
I started microdosing 3/10s of a gram and I still had my seizure every 2 weeks, but I went 4 months without a Tonic-Clonic seizure. https://www.magicmushrooms101.com

Hi all. My son recently started seizing (grand mal) again after 4 years of being seizure free. I’m looking to buy him a seizure alert device but wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them.

Hi Becky. My son started having absent seizures when he was 7. At age 15 he suffered from his first grand mal (this happened after his father’s funeral. He died from congestive heart failure)… read more
Something some said got to me. Not all forms of epilepsy make tou loose consciensness. I am always alart and and aware of several of my triggers. My sezuires are either absent, mind staring or simple/conplex jerks (like a cold chill).
I have complex partial seizures. My neurologist and I have talked about my license as I have brought it up. He sees no reason to revoke my license and my diagnosis does not require them to be.
Anyone else still have their license?
I still have mine but I'm not allowed to drive for 6 months after I've had a sz. Just had a major one that sent me to the hospital and required stitches above my right eye.
I went last year end of November, received steroid injection for asthma attack. 2 days later started off by vomiting and had seizure that lasted 6 hours with vomiting at least for 3 hours. Doctors in ER claim it was triggered by the steroid injection 2 days earlier yet my neurological wasn't convinced it was.
I only started getting seizures after I got a steroid shot for back pain. They started out fairly mild and eventually got so bad I was forced to go to the ER almost every other day. Finally found a… read more
Do you guys drive?
Losing the right or ability to drive is not only hard it just down right sucks! It is a means to independence. I haven’t driven in almost 9 years and I hate every minute. Having said that I look at… read more
