In honour of Erin's incredible fundraising for Epilepsy Action Australia (follow the link to donate), we wanted to revisit this incredible episode. Erin will be running a marathon, be sure to follow her on Little Lulu Love for all the updates. While Jordana is away we will be sharing some of our past episodes, be back live in your ears soon. Erin is the mother of Luella, a gorgeous 18-month-old who suffers from West Syndrome. What gets her through her day, is the support she receives from her mum, Wendy. Luella has a rare type of epilepsy called West syndrome which causes her to suffer through hundreds of seizures/spasms a day. She is making meeting milestones that, in her original prognosis, wasn't possible thanks in large part to Erin and the wonderful intense therapies she goes to at NAPA.Wendy is a very hands-on grandmother and mother, which has helped Erin through her postnatal depression, she allows Erin and her husband Dave, a night off every now and again, which is really essential for any parent, let alone parents who have to manage the added stresses of Luella's condition. As Erin says "Luella isn't a burden, it's her seizures that are a burden!"There were many tears during this episode, but Erin has always been happy to push through the tears, so that, as a mum, and also as Luella's voice, she is heard. There needs to be more research and funding into West Syndrome and giving parents and guardians more support through NDIS.This conversation has two-parts: listen now to part 2 of this conversation with an amazing mother and daughter. Thank you again to Erin and Wendy for sharing their story and being the most amazing advocates for Luella.If you have an amazing story to share with us, please DM or email us.

With nearly one-third of people with epilepsy having forms resistant to current medication, some people turn to medical cannabis, driven by hope – and anecdotal evidence claiming – that it will work. Now researchers at the University of Sydney’s Lambert Initiative, in partnership with Epilepsy Action Australia, are seeking out parents who use cannabis-based medicines to treat their child’s epilepsy.

The duo of Autonomy and Lollydoc talk a few topics today - namely the ideas of co-operation between genders, the rights of IVF clinics to ask if they can ask someone is pregnant, and . They also have a few special guests on the show as well: Carol Ireland, CEO of Epilepsy Action Australia to talk about ideas on treating epilepsy in children, and Professor Lea Waters, the Director of the Centre for Positive Psychology, comes into the studio to chat about strength-based parenting.

Currently in Australia it is estimated that there are over 250,000 people living with epilepsy and each year around 25,000 people are diagnosed with the condition for the first time. Approximately 3% of Australian's could experience epilepsy within their lifetime. It is a serious brain condition which can limit people's ability to get and have a driver's license, it may limit the type of work they do and can results in other significant social, physical and psychological difficulties.   So what actually is epilepsy, what is it caused by, and what impact can it have on the individual, and what what can be done to help people with this condition? To answer these questions and more we are going to be joined on the show by Carol Ireland the CEO of Epilepsy Action Australia.   For more information about Epilepsy and Purple day visit: https://www.facebook.com/epilepsyactionaustralia/ http://www.epilepsy.org.au   Originally broadcast on Triple H 100.1 FM on Tuesday March 22, 2016
