Can Anyone Tell Me What To Do When Your Mate Thinks They Know Everything About Your Seizures And You Know They Are Changing?

I believe everyone that has a family member with epilepsy should have a support group of their own. To learn what you're going through and how to help you through it. As well as share his concerns.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Your local Epilepsy Foundation might have a Caretaker/Parent Support Group & you could try & encourage him to go to that with you & listen & ask any questions. They might offer it virtually like by Zoom or in person. If you can’t persuade him to go then you might contact your local Epilepsy Foundation for suggestions on how to handle things. Prayers things get better. Your friend in Texas, Becky
