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

I have been seizure free for nearly a year after I was hospitalized for four days. Two reflections: take your meds, and stay off alcohol.

Congratulations @frankv on nearly a year seizure-free — that's wonderful news! Thank you for sharing those reflections — "take your meds" and "stay off alcohol" are such simple but powerful lessons.
Was there anything else, such as a way of seeing things, that's stayed with you and helped you through your epilepsy journey? I'd love to add it to the collection of wisdom we're gathering here, if something comes to mind.
Thank you!
Chris

Please stay off ALL forms of alcohol for all AEMs. I know it’s hard. I hadn’t touched even a drop of beer since the day I had been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Cheers,
Louis
