Epilepsy Wales

I met up with a South Wales field worker for Epilepsy Wales a while back and after a lovely long chat I am now one of their volunteers! I can't wait to help them out in any way possible. This charity is entirely people focused in offering support to those who need it. For example, visiting schools to provide vital information to the fellow classmates and teachers of children who have been diagnosed with the condition in order for them to carry on life as much usual. They are about providing a face to face aid to people who  experience Epilepsy with Field workers and support groups amongst plenty of other things! 

The first event I attended as part of the Epilepsy Wales team was a self care conference for professionals. The day was hosted by NHS Wales and my goodness was there some complicated subjects talked about. Although given that the room consisted of third sector managers, medical consultants, health ministers and various other government and health professionals I can happily admit I didn't understand everything that was mentioned... That said it really was a very interesting event to attend and eye opening to see the other side of the healthcare coin!

I hope that more of the same will come my way and I can keep on gaining experience and learn.

    I am your same age and was recently diagnosed with epilepsy as well. Thank you for keeping this blog, I have been reading through it and it is comforting to read about soneone who has had similar experiences! You inspired me to blog about my journey as well, in hopes that it will help someone else someday. Good luck finding the right medications.
