Living with epilepsy: why a medical ID helps

Seizures can happen anywhere: on the street, at work or while travelling. People nearby often don't know what is happening or how to help.

What an ID does

An ID marked EPILEPSY gives bystanders and responders immediate context. After a seizure you may be confused or tired for a while, and the ID speaks for you during that time.

Add a seizure plan

Many people with epilepsy also carry a short note or phone entry with their usual seizure pattern, medication and an emergency contact. Your doctor or epilepsy nurse can help you put one together.

Choosing a style

Pick something comfortable that you'll keep on during daily activities. A charm bracelet or braided band are popular choices.
