Living with epilepsy

Living with epilepsy can be challenging. How do you deal with epilepsy? Tell us about your experience.

  1. I try to find a dr who will respect me, and not judge me. My last Dr I tried to accept me as a patient told me “it’s not my problem” as I told him about my epilepsy, and frequent seizures, and laughed as he said this, then he called the police on me when I got upset, and displayed my reaction to his comments!

    1. , this is a fantastic point and thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Finding the right care team is critical to receive adequate care! I am very happy to hear that you're advocating for yourself. Have you found the right doctor? Wishing you all the best.

  2. I try to get lots of rest. I try incredibly hard not to get stressed, that I'd a big trigger for me.
    I also stay away from grocery stores, those lights are awful.
