I posted about this topic a couple of times over the years, updating links to the websites I follow when they did an overhaul and everything disappeared. I've been following space weather though, I'm guessing, for close to 18 years now. It all started as an 'I wonder if' sort of thing, as I was...

Hi Everyone- I was wondering if any neurologists/ epileptologists / researchers regularly visit the forums? If so do they indicate that our experiences, observations and personal research have any bearing on the way they practice? This past week I completed a 5 day vEEG with no seizure...

Just read a NY Times article highlighting a recent study (on rats), that looks at how the brain changes when the [rat] body is inactive. Makes me wonder how our activity levels might affect our seizure control (if at all). I know some folks are triggered by exercise, but perhaps for some of us...

An exciting breakthrough from Medical News Today… Research by a German scientific group indicated that embryonic stem cells could possibly contribute to regeneration of brain tissue. Currently, 20% of epilepsy patients undergo surgery to remove uncontrolled excitatory cells that cause...

My name is Alyssa and and I am a PhD student doing my doctoral dissertation on issues that workers with chronic illness face in the workplace, including stigma, discrimination, and disclosure. Although I do not have Epilepsy, I have been living and working with Multiple Sclerosis for 9 years, so...

Ironically, I heard on the news that the Juvenile Diabetes Philadelphia branch was moving to new quarters to house their expanded staff. At the very same time, our branch of The Epilepsy Foundation was in the process of laying off employees because of drastic cuts in state and federal funding...
