This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from June 1 to June 30, 2017. Follow along!
Don’t miss another #LivingWellChat
At the end of every Epilepsy Blog Relay™, we close with a live #LivingWellChat. Join us on June 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!

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: Healthcare and Epilepsy
Throughout the chat we will touch on the following:
Q1: What did it feel like when you (or your loved one) were first diagnosed?
Q2: How do you pay for your medical needs (prescriptions, doctors appointments, tests, surgeries)?
Q3: Are you (or your loved one) able to work?
Q4: Do you rely on Medicare or Medicaid?
Q5: What are your thoughts on classifying epilepsy as a preexisting condition?
Q6: What do you want legislators to know about living with epilepsy?
