Safety Tips -- Daily Living

The following text offers a menu of safety tips that may reduce the risk of injury during or following a seizure.

As you go through the menu, remember that people with frequent seizures that affect consciousness and happen without warning are most likely to find these suggestions helpful.

Some people with epilepsy will not need (or want) to make any of these modifications to their lives.

We hope you will select from the menu only those tips that seem to balance your safety concerns with the way you want to live your life.
