This section of the Answer Place focuses on day-to-day living with epilepsy. The information is based on the experiences of many people with epilepsy. Its recommendations are drawn from studies and research. But it may not always apply to your particular situation or the way seizures affect you. If you have additional medical problems or hard to control seizures, adjustment to everyday living may be much more difficult than described here. Questions about your own experience of epilepsy should always be discussed carefully with your doctor. And there may also be other professional people working with your doctor who can be helpful.
