Let's talk Epilepsy--Teenagers, Nocturnal & cluster Seizures, therapists

Visiting with the Behavioral Therapists and teenagers angle.  What is teen stuff and what is side effects of meds.  Tricky.  Seizures in the night?  Cluster Seizures?  Some things that came up over the weekend.  Let's talk about Epilepsy.

The intention of this forum is to share information. For as long as epilepsy has been around it is amazing how little is known, understood and shared.  I have found the best places for information is through the Epilepsy Foundation's chat rooms, Epilepsy Facebook pages and local support groups. It is my hopes that this will become another place to support those who have or lend support to those with epilepsy.  

I am a newbie to this scene with my teenage daughter in her first year with epilepsy.  I am shocked at how difficult it has been to navigate the medical and educational systems.  Systems that should be supportive to this condition.  

So let's talk about epilepsy and share information that can help us all move forward.

Thank you to all who post information in forums.  Your wisdom and sharing has greatly benefited our family in coming to better understand epilepsy and all that goes with it.  

with love and appreciation,
