Having epilepsy is hard. Doing anything with epilepsy is harder.
These are some amazing products, art, and resources created by people with epilepsy. None of these are sponsored or paid ads. What the EF just really loves them.

Founded by one of our sheroes, Jessica Smith, this epilepsy lifestyle site is an invaluable resource to learn from other people's stories and get solid seizure tips. You can also share your story as a way to connect with the community.

If you use laughing as a coping mechanism like we do, then you're gonna love this merch. We don't even wanna spoil the jokes, so just go check out these T's and stickers.

This nonprofit was founded out love from Henry's friends who wanted help with his epilepsy. From car washes to artwork, the funds are used to support other local charities or individuals struggling with epilepsy.
