At our first epilepsy appointment, the neruologist asked us if we know epilspsy first aid. I said no!
Here is the basic epilepsy first aid. Probably everyone should know this!
1. do not restrain anyone while having a seizure
2. do not put anything in their mouth
3. roll them onto their side
4. call 911 if a seizure lasts more than 5 mintues
Also, here are some safety rules for epileptic patients.
1. do not swim alone (drowning is the #1 cause of death with epileptic people)
2. wear a helmet when riding a bike
3. no climbing trees
