Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with healthcare professionals regarding their condition and how it may affect their lifestyle. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions:

1. How will my epilepsy interfere with my day-to-day life?
   
   
2. How do I find out what triggers my seizures?
   
   
3. Will I have to avoid alcohol forever?
   
   
4. Will I be able to drive?
   
   
5. Will I be able to play sports?
   
   
6. Could my epilepsy be classified as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act?
   
   
7. I have difficulty becoming sexually aroused. Could this be because of my seizure medication?
   
   
8. How will I know if I should I change my medication?
   
   
9. Are there any activities that my child with epilepsy should not participate in?
   
   
10. Could the ketogenic diet help control seizures?
