 E. is for Epilepsy – by Paula Apodaca – "There is a lot to say about         experiencing E., so my blog isn't about treatments or surgical techniques.         It isn't a blog to explain E. to you or to showcase the newest drugs         for seizure control. It is the beginning of a new way of communicating         about epilepsy with an emphasis on the social and cultural elements of         epilepsy: discrimination, bigotry, art, literature, history, law and         much more."
