Living With Epilepsy
If you are living with epilepsy—or have a family member, friend, neighbor or loved one with the condition—you know the hardships that are associated with having seizures. Seizures can cause confusion, injury, uncontrolled movement, or the inability to speak or move.
Sometimes seizures happen when you’re just trying to live your life; going to work, to school, or running errands. The people around you may not recognize a seizure when it happens. This is scary and dangerous because you can be seriously injured if not cared for properly. That’s why a medical ID is critical for people living with epilepsy—to alert others to your condition.
Benefits of a MedicAlert ID and Membership
for people living with epilepsy:
- We're your voice: If you can’t speak for yourself, your ID will speak for you, informing others about your epilepsy and any medications you are taking.
