There is a lot to know about epilepsy. Whether you're new to epilepsy or have known about it for years, the more information you have the stronger you'll be. By starting at the beginning, you will gain a basic foundation of knowledge about the disease, its treatments, and the ways it will affect your life. Once you learn about it, the next steps will be much easier and you can get on with living. Here you'll find information all about epilepsy and seizures, so send this to a friend, print it out and read it, and know that epilepsy.com is here to help. In particular, we have prepared a checklist that will help you remember what to discuss with your  doctor - the checklist may be found on http://my.epilepsy.com/info/women_checklist.
