This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from Nov 1 to Nov 30, 2017. Follow along!
Don’t miss #LivingWellChat
At the end of every Epilepsy Blog Relay™, we close with a live #LivingWellChat. Join us on Nov 30, at 7pm ET to celebrate and connect with some of our fantastic bloggers. The chat lasts about 1 hour. Just use the hashtag #LivingWellChat to filter out all the other social noise on twitter and join the conversation!
This Month’s Topic: Epilepsy and Stigma
Throughout the chat we will touch on the following:
Q1: Do you believe there is a positive or negative stigma around epilepsy?
Q2: What kind of stereotypes do you think exist about people with epilepsy?
Q3: Are you willing (is it easy for you) to talk about epilepsy?
Q4: What did it feel like when you (or your loved one) were first diagnosed?
Q5: What are some pretty common worries you think people with epilepsy live with today?
Q6: How can we change the conversation to make the discussion more open?

How does the chat work?
Lots of Twitter chats have a formal structure, only allowing a few minutes per question, but #LivingWellChat is more open. You will find #LivingWellChat is very simple: We start with a general topic, and the conversation flows from there. We encourage spontaneous discussion with tons of Q&A.
