I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more
I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods.

I am experienced with ZOOM, and I have experience with Skype (though a lot of the details are deep in memory with only some coming back when in the intro meeting with Bryan Martin)
I have signed up on Webex, but it does not provide all of the details of the features available in a free meeting. Is anyone experienced with the free meeting version there?
