Bringing Awareness to the Realities of Epilepsy

In Tom’s own words:

“I’m not as fearful of it because I’ve lived with it since childhood and am quite familiar with its personal impact and had decided not to let it keep me from seeing life.

I want to aid in dispelling myths and provide information that can educate my site’s visitors to the need for advocacy for millions of people worldwide with Epilepsy.”

Available in Paperback & Kindle

UNDER SIEGE – Epilepsy in the Open depicts Tom's individual social, economic, and medical challenges while also portraying Epilepsy’s nationwide and worldwide social, economic and medical realities.
