Epilepsy Connect Works to Unite the Global Epilepsy Community in a Social Networking Environment

Dec. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- New to the online epilepsy community, Epilepsy Connect is focused on becoming one of the most extensive e-communities for those with epilepsy to ask questions, share stories and offer and receive advice. Although local support groups are often readily available, Epilepsy Connect allows for its members to find others with similar circumstances and personalities, rather than being limited to a small local-based support group.  
With only three million Americans afflicted, it can be challenging to encounter others controlling seizures in their professional, personal and social lives. Epilepsy Connect removes the difficulty involved in meeting others that understand these challenges through forums, blogs and personal messaging. Creator, Tim DaGiau, has wrestled epilepsy’s effects for over a decade and founded Epilepsy Connect with the goal of uniting the global epilepsy community an easily accessible, social environment.
“Epilepsy Connect’s mission is to unite the global epilepsy community in a social, understanding environment. After sharing my life with epilepsy for over a decade, I understand that opening up to others can be a challenge. This is meant to be an area where members can not only share experiences, but also ask for advice and opinions. Epilepsy Connect is focused on being an atmosphere where one can comfortably express an often concealed side,” said Tim
