Our new campaign, Seize Control, aims to help people whose seizures are poorly controlled. Of the 600,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK, around 288,000 are still experiencing seizures. We estimate that with better treatment 108,000 more people could become seizure free. The campaign supports you to ask for better treatment if your seizures are not controlled.

A very warm welcome to you Dream56. You will find other people here who have personal experience of epilepsy. But if you have specific questions then someone from the Epilepsy Action Helpline Service will do their best to answer you.

You might want to look on our Epilepsy Action website for more information on our support services: epilepsy.org.uk/info/suppor...

The Near me page will tell you about events and groups in your area. epilepsy.org.uk/near-me?fro...

Being a caregiver can be very isolating. I do hope you’re already starting to feel less alone.
