Contacting other men with epilepsy
Last checked 08/08/2008
Some men with epilepsy may find it helpful to get in touch with other men who also have epilepsy, to share experiences and for support. Epilepsy Action is able to offer a number of ways in which people with epilepsy can do this.
- Accredited volunteer scheme
- Online community
- Branch network

- Penfriends scheme available through our members' magazine, Epilepsy Today.
Quote
I tend to just get on with life. The fact I have epilepsy, I try not to let it get in the way of what I do... If other people don't like the fact I am a man with epilepsy, that's their problem. I have to live with it and can, so why can't they?
