Lorraine Norris is a woman with epilepsy interested in writing a book about her story and those of other women as well. As such, she is gathering stories from women with epilepsy around the world. Some examples would include mothers with epilepsy, epilepsy during pregnancy, young adult girls and older women who want to share their life experiences.

Please help her to source these stories which can be mailed to her at lorraine.malek27@gmail.com.

Hi, I have seizures only in my sleep. My Epilepsy only started when I was 38 yrs. Did 2 scans but results was that I don't have tumour which is good news for me. I'm on Epitec100mg once a day at night. If I don't get seizures I get terrible nightmares while sleeping which I think nightmares are partial seizures. Hope will get help joining this team.
