Epilepsy and fevers

In this survey, we hope to find out how people with epilepsy are affected by fevers, the flu, and flu medication.  Currently people with epilepsy do not automatically qualify for a free flu vaccine and this is at the discretion of their doctor.

We would like to begin by asking you some questions about your epilepsy, and then we will ask you some questions about your experience with fevers and the flu.
