Since epilepsy is commonly a long-term condition, it is important that patients work with their doctors to find effective treatments that can be tolerated over the long term. A partnership between the patient and doctor is an important part of the treatment process.
Keep track of seizures using the Events Calendar (.pdf). Bring it to medical appointments or refer to it when on the phone so your doctor will have a clear understanding of exactly what you (or your loved one) are experiencing.
For females with epilepsy, the Female Patient Education Brochure (.pdf) (or the Spanish version) focuses on concerns unique to females. You can read about the different issues that a female may experience during her lifetime. To order a printed version, please call 1 (800) 680-1600.
