Maria X commented on the doc EpilepsyU Glossary of Terms in the group
EpilepsyU Glossary of Terms 6 years, 5 months agoThere’s a long list of epilepsy-related terms and definitions on the EFA eCommunities website. It was posted several times (tho probably slightly modified each time). Don’t remember how long ago. Do you want me to go looking for it? Does someone else want to?

I now have not slept longer than 3-5 hour on average since…[Read more]
