Epilepsy Blog Relay--What is Comorbidity?

This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from June 1 through June 30. Follow along and add comments to posts that inspire you!

Comorbidities are a big issue for people with epilepsy because many have to deal with them every day.  So, what is a comorbidity? The Epilepsy Foundation website defines it as "the presence of one or more additional disorders that co-occur with the primary condition."

Living Well with Epilepsy Blog Relay

The June 2017 Living Well with Epilepsy Blog Relay is under way.  This is a great way to get educated and see various points of view on the epilepsy experience. You can see the full list of participants at http://livingwellwithepilepsy.com/epilepsy-blog-relay/ebr-june-2017-participants.  I will be posting my entry on Thursday, June 8.  

Confession

My apologies for being away for almost two months.  I have a problem—perfectionism.  If I can’t figure out how best to say something, it is difficult for me to get it out.  I was procrastinating.  I suppose I have an excuse for not writing in the first weeks of May, because I was out of the country visiting family and friends, and was on the go day in and day out.  Then, after returning home, I suffered severe jet lag.  It took me a good two weeks to finally recover from travel.  And still I didn’t write.  Not that there is nothing to write about, because there are plenty of issues related to epilepsy to discuss.  Please let me know what you would like me to write about and I will address those issues.
