Come join the next virtual S.H.A.R.E. Meeting on Tuesday May 26th, 7-9 pm via google meet!

TOPIC: Epilepsy and women’s life stages. How has epilepsy impacted your life as a woman? Periods, pregnancy, parenthood, partners. Issues with/related to your period? Challenges preparing for and during a pregnancy? Being a parent/spouse? Does your partner support you? Does your doctor communicate with you on a level playing field? And all the other demands faced by women due to their epilepsy.

[Note from the organizer: I encourage all women to come share your stories. This has been a very lively topic in previous SHARE meetings. All humans are invited to the meeting, not just women :) ]
