SHAKE THAT SEIZURE

Welcome to STSEpilepsy.Org (Shake That Seizure).

Shake That Seizure is a research and informative website for epileptics. The purpose of the site is to discuss and study a potential relationship between weather and seizures.

Does weather have an impact on seizures and epilepsy? Do temperature changes bring about increases or decreases in seizure activity? Do changes in the seasons affect epileptics? How about Barometric Pressure? What is Barometric Pressure? These questions and in the future answers will be on this website. Additionally, there will be links and previously gathered data right here for you.

My hopes for Shake That Seizure will be to not only educate epileptics and non-epileptics alike, about seizures, but also to really reach out into the medical, research, and epilepsy communities to indeed conduct a study. The only information needed for the study will be the zip codes and the dates for which people have/are seizing. They can be prior dates, etc. Most people with seizure disorders keep journals with at least the times, dates, and types of seizures.

As for types of seizures that pertain to this site, they can be absence seizures, gran mal seizures, nocturnal seizures, complex partial seizures, febrile seizures, gelastic seizures and so forth - all except canine seizures. This site is for people. However there is a doctor doing research on canine epilepsy and weather and I will try to get her link up on the links page.

We are now in the process of applying for tax exempt status. As a result, I am currently looking for help in recreating the existing website so please send any portfolios to jcoyle@stsepilepsy.org.

Also we are applying for the HONcode which should keep the website up to regulations with other medical related sites out there on the internet. Stay tuned and thank you for your support!
