Hey all:
The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles is putting on their annual Epilepsy Freedom Walk benefiting those with epilepsy in LA. I went two years ago. It's a fun event and I understand it's getting even better. If you're in LA, be sure to check it out...

Hope you see those of you in Los Angeles at the walk.

Why EpiTrax??
Since my diagnosis, my various neurologists have told me to track my seizures and anything that I thought might be causing those seizures. At first, being the college student I was, I went in the opposite direction. Rather than track my seizures, I tried my hardest to ignore them. Much to my detriment...
Over time, I recognized the value in tracking my seizures but could not keep it up. Everything I tried seemed cumbersome. I tried paper forms created by drug companies, paper forms I made, Excel spreadsheets I made. Nothing worked. Either they didn't capture the right information, or they didn't allow me to analyze the data easily, or they kept me from finding the information I needed when sitting in front of my doctor.
One day I decided that there had to be a better way...So, using my contacts in the technology world, I partnered with a brilliant software engineer and together we created EpiTrax. Admittedly, the software and our company are still young, but that's the fun of it. We've provided a good starting point with lots of great features for tracking and analyzing seizures. With your help, we have the opportunity to create something fantastic!
To that end, I ask for your help in making this the best software on the market. If you're trying it, let us know what you like and don't like. If you've purchased it, send any and all feedback to us.
Another way to contribute is to join this blog. Your comments will not go unnoticed. I welcome the opportunity to discuss our software, seizure tracking, recent epilepsy news, or anything else you think is important for those with epilepsy.
I look forward to hearing from you...
