I am not the best researcher. I try, but I find I get overwhelmed so easily trying to sort it all out which triggers my overactive brain... lol... grrr
I know there are lots of resources listed here on CWE to find info. What I was wondering is if anyone would like to share with me their favorite sites to use for researching epilepsy and treatments.
I like sources that are not physician run studies. I can't read those very well because they stress my brain. I also don't like the real basic sites as I'm way past those. So something in the middle would be good. I've read a lot on wikipedia, but it always seems to stop short of the nitty gritty info I'm looking for.
Specific questions:
All tests used to record or test for seizures
How to interpret the results of your tests, eeg, mri, etc
"Standard of care" treatments for seizures
All meds used for seizures and their untoward side effects
Ongoing testing to expect in the future
Information on the prognosis of seizures/epilepsy
I don't expect answers to these questions, but if anyone has any links they want to send my way, that would be great. Or if anyone knows how to search this site to find a compiled list of seizure meds or side effects to meds as reported in these threads, that would be cool. Its really hard, in my current state (post concussion, and many simple seizures brought on by minimal brain use ) to do searches and compile this info.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate any info or suggestions. I also appreciate all of you.
