Any phrase, idea that helped you navigate life with epilepsy?

Not enough global effort had been put into the research of this seemingly rather common global condition. Of course, developing a drug or researching any medical cost money. In fact, lots of money and resources which may need global organizations like WHO’s involvements. It’s time for individual countries to also not let the talents which so many of us can contribute to their organizations go wasted when we are equally capable in many ways. Just that, how can we? And how can they?

@louissc - good insights! I think this is one of the many reasons why I willingly participate in research projects. It’s a good way to invest in the future health of the whole community.
I remember my Dad participating in several research projects in the 1960s and 1970s through Mayo and Penn Rheumatology (for RA) that have since become standard treatments. I can benefit from these treatments since I, too, developed severe RA in my early 50s, long after my Dad passed away.
If we each do what we can, it helps everyone.
