Hi cats--
I'm new to this group. I've been having seizures for about 5 years now.
I also play rock music, and on December 1st, will be helping a friend put on an epilepsy research benefit rock show. All the money we make will go to epilepsy research.
But I'm not sure how to get the word out-- I've gone to the EpilepsyFoundation's website and found some local support groups to email, but does anyone know of other geographically-based epilepsy message boards? I really want other people dealing with epilepsy to come to the show, enjoy it, and be encouraged by the support of our local community.
Help?
Thanks,
Ella

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
where are you at
here is a web site in central florida
is a very good one. there is a phone number on the site you can give them a call. you never know who is taking a vacation.
Thanks everybody for so many suggestions! We have made beautiful fliers and are handing them out like candy-- so I'll drop some by the local neurologist's office. I'm also talking to college radio stations about doing a PSA.
In case anyone is in or near Western Massachusetts-- the show is on December 1, at the Elevens nightclub in Northampton, at 8pm. It's five dollars! and 21+. So far, we have booked Abeja, The Cheaters Club, Apocalipstick, The John Bobbit Experience, Thrillpillow, and Ella Longpre (that's me), and more to come! It will be a lot of fun. If you want to come but don't have the cash-- please let me know.
Thanks again guys!
