Knowing that you are not alone is very helpful when dealing with seizure activity.
Come meet other people in Chattanooga who are affected by seizures. Come to teach and to learn! Come to encourage and to be encouraged!
We meet monthly and discuss group-member-requested topics concerning epilepsy:
Medications, treatment, insurance and financial issues, legal rights, teen issues, SSDI, epilepsy in the schools and workplace and many others!
