I’ve just had a first seizure

Start with what usually happens after a first seizure, then move into tests, recording what happened and preparing questions for follow-up.

My seizures are continuing

If seizures are still happening, the useful next questions are often about treatment response, side effects, seizure records, safety and whether a specialist review is needed.

Something has changed

A new symptom, a different seizure pattern or a recovery that is not normal for the person deserves attention rather than automatically being put down to epilepsy.

I care for someone with epilepsy

Start with the person’s usual pattern, care plan and safety needs, then make sure emergency and recovery information is easy to find.
