I feel out of control when I have a seizure.
Epilepsy has taken the control of my life away from me.
I am a walking zombie with all of these medications.
I started having seizures in my 60s
and I could not believe it.
I didn't know anybody in their 60s who had epilepsy.
I was afraid
and ashamed to go out of the house

Many seniors with epilepsy

misunderstood,
over-medicated
and lonely.
It can be a very upsetting experience

through providing knowledge and support.
