Hello all,
I have had epilepsy since childhood but notice there is no real support group for it in UAE. I am interested in starting one in Dubai. The group can include people with epilepsy but also mothers and fathers whose children have epilepsy.
We can do this through Meetup.com but first, I would like to know how many people are interested in getting this off the ground so that we can know the potential number of members for the support group. I live in Sharjah but am willing to come to Dubai so I would be interested in know how many would like to see this happen. If you would be interested, please post in here.
Anoop.

Video Teleconferencing on Skype may also be a potential option.

I can put you in touch with several parents / carers in the UK. who have formed their own epilepsy care groups.
Your posting caught my eye because in the 1960's and 70's I served in the medical services of the Trucial Oman Scouts, in Sharjah, at Muaskaar al Murqaab in Al Heira.

My son has epilepsy and I developed an anti-suffocation pillow to help prevent him suffocating while he was asleep.
Best wishes,
