Getting On With Epilepsy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Getting on with Epilepsy illustrates experiences that can be worrying for people with epilepsy such as having a seizure in public, going to the doctor, having a brain scan, an EEG, a blood test, and taking daily medication. The book also stimulates discussion about the balance between personal autonomy and the need for safety. Many specific safety issues, such as cycling, cooking, safe drinking and swimming are addressed, demonstrating that it is possible to enjoy an active and independent life with epilepsy. The authors prepared this book with the help of an advisory panel of people with learning disabilities.
