Living With Magazine is a magazine for Epilepsy patients and their families, written by Epilepsy patients and their families. Our Executive Director, Melanee A. Stovall and her daughter are featured on pages 8 and 9 of Issue 5.

“Laughter is the best medicine. My daughter and I find that music and laughter have been a great outlet for us. Life is short, and we must take lemons and turn them into lemonade so that we do not get swallowed up by the difficulties of the journey." - Melanee A. Stovall

All adults and children with Epilepsy need to have a Seizure Action Plan (SAP), especially those with new-onset epilepsy and those with ongoing frequent seizures. A SAP lets others know what to do in an emergency situation.

Reduce potentially unnecessary emergency healthcare needs by creating a SAP. It could save your life or your child's life. Already have a SAP? Make sure it's updated.
