This might be a quiet time to post, but there should be others around later
today.  This is an International Message board where most questions and
support needs you might have can be answered.    We have people on each of
about 4 of the North America timezones, South America from time to time,
Europe and both Australia and New Zealand.   If you see any older messages
still on your reader from Julie in Idaho or Howdy Dave, they both have
websites with lots of General information, and list them usually at the end
of any of their posts. You should bookmark those if you can, since they're
handy to refer to whether you're reading the Group or not.
 The Idaho site has First Aid Charts, both have  links to http://efa.org 
the American Ep.  Foundation website which has information plus a
medications glossary if you've been prescribed anything new (to you) and
don't get a complete printout from your Pharmacy (or you can get there from
the address above.)
  Both those sites (Julie's and Dave's) have lots of information on dealing
with either being newly diagnosed, or up to date information they've
assembled over last 6+ years.
  If you don't see a topic around that you wish to discuss, just start a
new subject line, and post it onto the group.  Replies can show up over the
next ~24-72 hours or longer, depending how often some of the people read the
group (and allowing for the time of year at the moment).
   I don't know if it matters to how you're currently reading the group,
but I sort my messages by 'message thread' so that even if someone replies
3-4 days after an original question (like yours), they will 'pop up'  under
that message subject line with the (local) date and time stamp.
  Some people  use Google to search for particular subjects that may have
been discussed in the past.  But since a lot of the information changes
frequently anyway, info. specific to e.g. medications or recent research
might be of more interest if it's put up over the last 4 years or so.
   I used to have a Generic post that included the http stuff for above
mentioned sites, but it's currently somewhere in Cyberland after I 'updated'
this to Windows XP home, and might not be available (retyped or googled out)
until after Jan. 1.
   Many of your questions (any you have) should still get some answers if
there are particular things you want to ask about.  There probably isn't a
Seizure type, symptom or medication you might wonder about that won't get a
response of use among the various posters here.    So ask away.

  (There Once was a uk.people.support.epilepsy group, but it got over-run
by a webmaster who was reselling addresses of people who posted there, so I
don't know if it's recovered yet.   This group is largely Clean although
some robots do group harvests without being aware (caring) which support
group they cull. )    G./

(I'm on Eastern Time (5 hrs behind GMT), I think you were Pacific? so 8
hours behind the UK GMT clocks.  I think the one or 2 UK people we had
posting are 'on the road' so they may not be back 'this year'...   I think
some of the people in Australia and New Zealand might still be around.
It's surprising how much is Similar among what we discuss -- either of the
seizure types, possible causes, and medications even if they have slightly
different names, can be discussed across International Lines. )
