This webinar is coming up soon!  There may still be time to RSVP.  Here are the details:

What: WebEase: A Webinar for People With Epilepsy

Who: Presented by the Managing Epilepsy Well (MEW) Network in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation and the CDC Epilepsy Program. Special thanks to American Epilepsy Society, to the Epilepsy Therapy Project and to UCB/Epilepsy Advocate for their assistance in promoting this event.

When: Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 2:00-3:00 pm (Eastern Standard Time)

Where: On-line

Speakers: Sandra Helmers, MD, MPH (Emory University)

“WebEase (Web Epilepsy, Awareness, Support and Education) is an interactive, on-line self-management program for people with epilepsy. WebEase is different from other Epilepsy websites because it does not tell you what you should do.  Rather, it guides you to think about what is important to you in managing your epilepsy through taking medications, managing stress and getting a good night’s sleep. WebEase is for anyone living with epilepsy and who is interested in improving their self-management skills regardless of where they are in life, or how long they have lived with epilepsy.”  (http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/resources/Webinars/Introducing-WebEase-A-Webinar-for-People-With-Epilepsy.cfm)

Who Am I Now?

After the Diagnosis, Who Am I Now?

This talk was part of the invisible illness week virtual conference.   The motivational speaker in this talk tells me that I am the same person that I was before I was diagnosed.  I have the same interests and goals that I had before I was diagnosed with epilepsy.  The only difference is that now I need to cope with this chronic illness.   This is information that the patients with the chronic illness tend to forget sometimes.  What did you think of this talk?
