Living With Epilepsy
Have you or a loved one
been recently diagnosed with epilepsy? If so, your immediate
goal is to become seizure-free. Working closely with your
physician to begin treatment is the top priority.
However, you can’t have
enough information about how to live with this disorder and
Living With Epilepsy is written to give you answers to
some of the basic questions about epilepsy and its
treatments.
For instance did you know
that seizures are the only visible symptom of
epilepsy?
Did you know that there are
different types of seizures and that not everyone displays the
same symptoms in the same way?
Finally, did you know that
there are other types of seizures that do not necessarily
diagnose as epilepsy but are in fact a result of some other
disorder?
You need answers to these
and the multitude of other questions if you are to be armed
with the right ammunition when suspecting epilepsy in yourself
or a loved one.
Epilepsy is the considered
the second most common disease in America and is prevalent in
over one percent of Americans each year. 125,000 to 150,000
people are diagnosed each year. 30 percent of those diagnosed
are children.
Early diagnosis is crucial
to avoid dangerous or life-threatening situations to yourself
or others.
There is no cure for
epilepsy but there are anti-seizure medications that can reduce
and in some cases prevent the incidence of seizures.

study the different types of seizures and examine some of the
