First and foremost, our families

We thank our many families and friends who are living with or have lived with myoclonic-astatic epilepsy for contributing to this website by sharing their incredible wealth of knowledge and first-hand experiences.

We thank all of our families for their involvement in our webring forum, and for the tremendous support and encouragement they offer each other 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We thank especially those families who have long left "the beast" behind but who contribute regularly to our forum to constantly inspire us and remind us all that there is   always hope.
