Diagnosed as an epileptic at 19 (now 39)I have used
information by the BEA for years -
I have always found it to be both useful
and up-to-date, which is important because
there are many legal restrictions for people with epilepsy
(eg jobs you take up and driving regulations).
Before me they helped my mother come to terms with my
condition and recently I wondered if my young child has
developed the condition, the helpline was helpful,
reassuring and comforting, and they have sent me some
information on childhood disorders.
Their one downside is that they can be a little too
tenacious when they are fundraising.
