Epilepsy Summit—4/29/17 Early Bird Registration until 4/8/17

On April 28-29, 2017, the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles will host its Epilepsy Summit in Universal City, California. 

On Friday, April 28, there will be a day devoted to doctors and other personnel. The early Bird registration is $50 and regular registration is $75.  Onsite costs$100.  The topics are similar to the community day which is on April 29th. However, I noticed one session about SUDEP (sudden unexplained death in epilepsy), which is not included in the community day.

Welcome!

Welcome to Soo's Epilepsy Corner! My name is Soo Ihm. I am from Southern California. 

 In my blog I'm going to be sharing information about epilepsy, in an effort to educate and advocate. I will tackle issues such as the history of epilepsy, new medications, traditional surgery, Vagus nerve stimulator, other new devices under development, diets, alternative treatments (herbs, acupuncture, marijuana, etc.), stigma, first aid, side effects, SUDEP (Sudden Death by Epilepsy).  

This is only the beginning, since epilepsy remains a mystery to scientists as well as they continue to search for a cure.  Every bit of awareness we can spread to the community about what epilepsy is the better, since it is still very misunderstood and feared by many. 

I hope you find this blog useful and engaging.
