Keeping a seizure diary

PrintPrinter-friendly version

Last updated 24 Aug 2009, review date due 24 Aug 2010

A seizure diary can be a helpful record of what’s been happening with your epilepsy, for you and your doctor or epilepsy specialist. 

You can use a seizure diary to record anything to do with your epilepsy. For example, when you have seizures, what type, and any possible seizure triggers. You can also record if you’re having any possible side effects from your anti-epileptic drugs.

If you feel that your seizures may be linked to your periods, you may also wish to record this in your diary.

You can order seizure diaries from our online shop, or highlight the diary below and print it out. Use print selection to avoid printing the rest of the page.

I've tried keeping a seizure diary but I'm having so many and most of which are on my own and I'm unconcious so it is difficult to keep a diary.

Is there a way round that?
