Seize Your Moments 
Life with epilepsy is made up of many moments — moments of challenge, moments of courage, and moments that can change everything. This is your reminder to seize them all.
That includes the moments when you're face-to-face with your doctor. Don’t let those appointments pass you by — come prepared, speak up, and make the most of them.
Use the S.T.E.P.S. tool by SK Life Science to help guide your conversation.
