A gallery of epilepsy
Epilepsy is often an invisible condition. Yet, to those of us who live with it, treating the disorder is anything but invisible. In celebration of Purple Day 2014, Living Well With Epilepsy proudly launches the Picture a Cure for Epilepsy online exhibit.
The photos
Early in 2014, Living Well With Epilepsy put out a call for photos of one day of epilepsy treatment. The response was overwhelming. We received more than 40 images of what it looks like to live with epilepsy. These generous submissions have been transformed into the online exhibit seen here.
