I
have suffered with epilepsy all of my life [my
story]. To help others understand this condition, I
give talks
on living with epilepsy to schools, companies and social organisations
within 100km of my home in Welwyn Garden City, Herts, UK.
I have written articles
on epilepsy from the patient's point of view, and have been featured
in national and local magazines. Several radio
and TV stations have run interviews
with me.
A couple of years ago, I became an
accredited tutor for courses under the NHS Expert
Patients scheme and taught many local people how best to manage their chronic illnesses.
My
book, Weathering the Storms - living with epilepsy,
was published in 2004.
