PBS has a
documentary about epilepsy, “Seized: Inside The Mystery of Epilepsy.” It highlights the cases of a few patients and
explains epilepsy. I highly recommend
it. In my opinion, it’s about time we
had more publicity and education out there.

Financial and Medical Resources for Epilepsy
Phylis Feiner Johnson has posted a very useful article on her blog Epilepsy Talk about financial and
medical resources for people with epilepsy, entitled "Epilepsy--Top Financial and Medical Assistance Programs." providing a list of good websites.
One that I was
impressed with was the Josh Provides.
This one provides financial aid to people with epilepsy who need help
paying for transportation, medications, or seizure detection devices, among
other things.

Update
It’s been awhile since
I’ve written.
Much has happened
during this time. Report—the Epilepsy Support Network of Orange County reached its goal of $140,000, from its Epilepsy
Walk. This does not count the totals
from the Silent Auction and Carnival, which are still being counted. I am proud to say that I raised $1,075 and my
team raised $1,445, the most I have ever done before. This means we will be able to continue
providing educational and support services to the families living with epilepsy
in southern California. We will also
provide outreach to the larger community to raise awareness about and promote
research for epilepsy.
