Book excerpt: LET'S TALK ABOUT EPILEPSY BY Ann Marie Gillie If you don't believe in yourself than who will? I have come a very long way in life over the past 9 years and I owe it to all of those that believed in me, that stood behind me even when I was at my lowest point. I am a survivor of "Brain Surgery" yes, but more importantly I am a BELIEVER which means that I can do what ever I put my mind to. Writing Let's Talk About Epilepsy came about for me after getting such an amazing response from my first book, If Walls Could Talk: Don't let epilepsy control you! In this new book I am very pleased and honored to share some incredible stories from others that also made a life altering decision, which was to have brain surgery. It is amazing how similar we all are and it doesn't matter our ages, nationalities or where we live in the world; we seem to have a bond with one another and it feels great! Along with some personal experiences with epilepsy, I passed out some questions for whoever chose to answer them, questions like; how many different meds have you been on for your seizures? Did epilepsy affect your education, either elementary, high school or college/university? Did or does having epilepsy affect any specific relationships in your life? Have you ever gone for a second opinion? I had some great answers to all these questions; I did throw my own answers in as well, of course! I think the inspiration in this book is going to help those out there that struggle with epilepsy in their own life; it is unfortunate that not everyone has a place to go, talk or feel safe in when it comes to their epilepsy or seizures, but I hope after reading these incredible stories that you will find a place, or support group that fits what you need; that your life will become more positive than you could of imagined. I know from my own personal experience that support is the key when it comes to almost everything in one's life, sometimes we just might need a bit of a nudge to get it! BELIEVE in yourself!!
Book Synopsis Living with Epilepsy by : Mel Riebe Jr.
Download or read book Living with Epilepsy written by Mel Riebe Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I don’t know why people are afraid of people who have epilepsy. It’s just a condition. It’s not something you can catch; it is not contagious. Epilepsy has to do with the brain. Like me, I was born perfectly normal. However, I had one of my blood vessels on the left side of my brain bust. That is why I have seizures for the rest of my life. Epilepsy is not a bad word. It is only a condition. Doctors are doing more research on it so they can try out new medication that may control the seizures much better. Maybe one day, they will find a stronger medication for epilepsy. I will do everything in my power to make sure that people with epilepsy will have a better life. Maybe one day, that would be cool. Maybe my life is not perfect. People think I can’t do anything, but they should think again. I can do anything when I put my mind to it. I can do it.

Book excerpt: Treatment options, lifestyle strategies,and emotional support for two million Americans.

Using his expertise in pharmacology and neuroscience, Dr. Carl Bazil demystifies epilepsy and other seizure disorders and offers medical, practical, and emotional support to patients and their families. He explains how and why seizures occur, and thoroughly discusses treatment options, the pros and cons of surgery, experimental and alternative treatments, strategies for daily living, and much more. Substantiated with case examples, this useful book provides a much-needed window into epilepsy so that patients can achieve the full life they deserve.
Book Synopsis Epilepsy Across the Spectrum by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Epilepsy Across the Spectrum written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-07-29 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although epilepsy is one of the nation's most common neurological disorders, public understanding of it is limited. Many people do not know the causes of epilepsy or what they should do if they see someone having a seizure. Epilepsy is a complex spectrum of disorders that affects an estimated 2.2 million Americans in a variety of ways, and is characterized by unpredictable seizures that differ in type, cause, and severity. Yet living with epilepsy is about much more than just seizures; the disorder is often defined in practical terms, such as challenges in school, uncertainties about social situations and employment, limitations on driving, and questions about independent living. The Institute of Medicine was asked to examine the public health dimensions of the epilepsies, focusing on public health surveillance and data collection; population and public health research; health policy, health care, and human services; and education for people with the disorder and their families, health care providers, and the public. In Epilepsy Across the Spectrum, the IOM makes recommendations ranging from the expansion of collaborative epilepsy surveillance efforts, to the coordination of public awareness efforts, to the engagement of people with epilepsy and their families in education, dissemination, and advocacy for improved care and services. Taking action across multiple dimensions will improve the lives of people with epilepsy and their families. The realistic, feasible, and action-oriented recommendations in this report can help enable short- and long-term improvements for people with epilepsy. For all epilepsy organizations and advocates, local, state, and federal agencies, researchers, health care professionals, people with epilepsy, as well as the public, Epilepsy Across the Spectrum is an essential resource.

Book Synopsis Nina, a Story of Uncommon Courage by : Nadia Q. Davies
Download or read book Nina, a Story of Uncommon Courage written by Nadia Q. Davies and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Alfonsina Q. Davies, "Nina" to her family and friends, lived her entire life with a secret. Beginning in infancy, she was one of as many as seventy million people worldwide and three million Americans living with epilepsy. Despite this grave diagnosis, with a fierce determination to live life to the fullest, she put on a brave face and fought the often-misunderstood disease until it took her life at age fifty-two.Yet despite the widespread occurrence of epilepsy, it remains shrouded in mystery, weighted down with stigma. Nina called the disease a "dark cloud" that followed her throughout her life, when seizures struck with a vengeance and often without warning. Undergoing brain surgery at U.C.L.A. helped her live a more normal life, but the disease was a battle she fought daily.Because the disease, with its seizures and side effects, remains a puzzle, scary to onlookers, patients, and family alike, few resources exist for those newly diagnosed that really tell the story of what living with epilepsy is like. In this volume, Nina's mother, Nadia Q. Davies, lifts the veil on epilepsy and shares both important information and resources, but also one family's---and one woman's---uncommon story of courage in the face of adversity. It is Nadia's deepest wish that the book will inspire, offering an honest and insightful discussion of epilepsy that is desperately needed. This is Nina's story, one of hope and triumph over adversity. It will touch your heart and be one you will never forget
