Don’t miss another #LivingWellChat on April 2 at 7pm ET

At the end of every Epilepsy Blog Relay™, we close with a live #LivingWellChat. Join us on April 2, at 7pm ET/6pm CT/5pm MT/4pm PT 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!

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.

This Month’s Topic: Epilepsy in real life

Throughout the chat we will touch on the following:

Q1: Introductions

Q2: What does Epilepsy in real life look like to you?

Q3: Do you think the reality is different from what other people assume or expect of someone living with epilepsy?

Q3: How does memory loss affect your social and work life?

Q4: How does fatigue affect your daily activities?

Q5: Does epilepsy impact decisions you make? In what way?

Q6: What would you like people to know about living with epilepsy?
