People's beliefs about it are doubtless partly due to what a fit looks like and its aftermath- the frothing at the mouth, shouting, bleeding, bumps, bruising and injuries - all of which can be difficult to look at. After nearly thirty years of living with seizures, Fran Thomas provides a much-needed handbook for epileptics and non-epileptics alike. It includes everything you need to survive when you are having fits and details what to expect from a life which is constantly throwing you a curveball. These are tried and tested strategies from the author's own experience of repeatedly falling down, getting up, then falling down again and again.   This searingly honest and thought-provoking book is the story of the author's fits, injuries and increasing memory loss, set alongside the wider story of epilepsy and society. It shows you how to:- Make your house safe to live in- Train a seizure dog- Survive a night in A\u0026amp;E- Navigate a professional life with epilepsy- Create a support network- Talk to others about your fits \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368890544501,"sku":"9781472149657","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781472149657","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
