8 Things To Keep Track Of In Your Epilepsy Diary
Epilepsy diaries serve as a good tool to help you. In teamwork with your doctor, find the best treatment options for managing your seizures and epilepsy.
Following my epilepsy diagnosis, I was encouraged to document my seizure activity. What to jot down was not explained which discouraged me from pursuing this plan.
When I connected with other epilepsy patients through social media and later became an epilepsy advocate, I learned so much of what was necessary to keep track of.
Whether a physical notebook or a phone app, itβs important to document specific details of everything that occurs before, during and after a seizure as well as the actions you take to manage them.
