A seizure diary that helps your neurologist help you
Neurologists often rely on a seizure diary to understand how epilepsy is behaving and whether treatment is working. Seizures can be hard to remember, and some you may not remember at all, so a quick, structured record made as soon as possible afterwards is valuable.
Record every seizure in detail
Date, time and duration; seizure type and severity; warning signs or aura; possible triggers such as missed sleep, stress, illness, alcohol or missed medication; whether rescue medication was taken; notes from anyone who witnessed it.
Stay on top of medications
Dose reminders sit in the same place as your seizure log, making it easier to spot links between missed doses and seizures.

Keep your seizure first-aid steps in WellNest's Emergency Plan and share them with family, friends, teachers or colleagues.
