There are no rigid guidelines for living with epilepsy, as everyone's condition is different. However, there are some general points that can help.
Know your triggers
The more you know about the things that trigger your seizures and how to avoid them, the less debilitating your epilepsy will be. Keep a seizure diary to help you work out if you have any triggers.
Take your medication
Anti-epilepsy medication controls seizures in around 70% of people. Working with your specialist to find the medication that suits you best, and taking it exactly as prescribed, is probably the most effective way to live well with epilepsy.
Regular reviews
You will have regular reviews of your epilepsy and treatment. This is usually carried out by your GP, but sometimes by your neurologist and their team. If your epilepsy is not well controlled, you may have more frequent reviews.
Self-care
Self-care is an integral part of daily life. It involves taking responsibility for your health and wellbeing with support from those involved in your care. Self-care includes what you do every day to stay fit and maintain good physical and mental health, prevent illness or accidents and care more effectively for minor ailments and long-term conditions. People with long-term conditions can benefit enormously from being supported to self care. They can live longer, experience less pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue, have a better quality of life and be more active and independent.
