About Me


If you have a question about epilepsy...

Please email us at [email protected] .

Please do not message us on MySpace. It's much quicker to email us at [email protected]. We get so many messages on MySpace (and most of them are nothing to do with epilepsy) that we can't possibly read or respond to them all.
