STAY SAFE! Talk to your doctor about ways to control your seizures. Here are a few ideas.

	Avoid things that trigger your seizures like flashing lights, low blood sugar levels, or lack of sleep.
	In case you have a seizure while you're in the bathroom: make sure the bathroom door opens outwards; use an “occupied“ sign rather than a lock; fill the bathtub only partway (or use the shower, with a safety strap if necessary).
	Try to make it safe around your home in case you fall during a seizure. Don't leave things lying around on the floor.
	Use the right safety equipment when taking part in sports.
	When you’re swimming, make sure someone is there who will know what to do if you have a seizure. It’s also a good idea to wear a life vest when you’re near water.
	If you ride a bicycle, make sure you wear a helmet.
