Staying Healthy
It’s important to know your body and know your limits. If being short on sleep leads to seizures, you’ll want to make sure you know how much sleep you need and take breaks every once in a while. If stress leads to seizures, you might want to exercise regularly and remember to take time for yourself when you’re under a lot of stress.
This section will focus on how you can take care of yourself through diet and exercise and by avoiding drugs and alcohol. It’s also important to be on the look-out for depression, which may affect people with epilepsy a bit more than others.
Taking your medicine regularly is an important part of staying healthy and seizure free. Use the “Medicine” link to learn more about your medicines and their side effects.
