Tell us your story…

Every life has a story. Whether it be sad, bad, triumphant or fulfilling.
What better way to educate and empower those with epilepsy than by telling OUR own stories? (I’m sure they’re as different as we are!)
Brain fog and you…

The lights are on but nobody’s home.
You feel confused, stressed, disoriented – like the thought is just out of your reach.
You’re concentrating, but the words elude you.

Please understand, I am NOT saying that these supplements will cure, treat or prevent epilepsy.
But I am saying that we folks with epilepsy have to do everything we can for our brain health.

That’s how strongly I feel.
And the science backs me up.

Your pharmacist is the least expensive and most accessible health resource you have.
They fill prescriptions and provide expert information about medications — a very important role, considering the prominent use of seizure medications to treat epilepsy.

In medicine, that’s extraordinary.
