The New Epilepsy Foundation Ohio was just formed and represents all of Oho. They are trying to get the word out. One of the major issues with getting the word out is people (and their families) with the disease keep it a secret because a lot of the general population do not understand the disease. Quite a large number of people are afflicted with Epilepsy. More people live with Epilepsy than Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and Cerebral Palsy combined. You know someone with Epilepsy, but may not know that they have it.
