Retreats

Hello and welcome. I am almost through reading a book entitled "Living Well with Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders: An Expert Explains What You Really Need to Know" by Dr. Carl W. Bazil, M.D., Ph.D. and it is very informative as well as easy to read. I also purchased a book "Epilepsy: Patient and Family Guide" by Dr. by Orrin Devinsky, M.D., but I haven't started on that one yet. Both Doctors have amazing credentials to their names, and that's how I picked these 2 out of thousands. They were also both listed on the Epilepsy.com homepage, so I figured they would be very appropriate. I'm not sure about any retreats (and would depend where she lives, also) but I can tell you that my neurologist gives seminars on Epilepsy, treatments, and natural alternatives (if her E can be treated safely without meds). Hope this helps a little, Susan

Call your nearest Epilepsy Foundation in your area. They can mail you info about conferences you can go to and learn more things and talk with others. Also here are a number of books that I have in my group that can help you.
