Great links! Thanks for sharing. I am always looking for new resources. I am also an epilepsy advocate for raising awareness. Who knows, raising awareness may lead to a cure.

I think educating ourselves is the first step.
And as I always say, “Where there’s life, there’s hope!”
Thanks for the compliment…
