Tell us your story

Whether you live with epilepsy or care for someone who does, what you’ve been through could help someone who’s just starting out. There’s no right way to tell it.

A few pointers

Write in your own words. Short or long, both are fine.
Talk about real life: the diagnosis, school or work, family, what helped you cope, what you wish you’d known.
You don’t need to mention Epilepsy Mate.
Please don’t give medication or dosage advice, and leave out other people’s full names.

What happens next

We read every story.
If we’d like to publish yours, we email you the edited version to approve first.

Your story *

At least a few sentences.

I agree that Epilepsy Mate may email me about my story, edit it for length and clarity, translate it, and publish it on epilepsymate.com with the name I gave above. I’ll see the final version before it’s published. My story is true and I have the right to share it. If it’s about someone else, they agreed to it, or I’m their parent or legal guardian. I’m 16 or older. If you’re younger, ask a parent or guardian to share your story with you.
