Abstract
This is an extended proposal asking epileptic young people, with some guidance from the researcher, to illustrate their narratives of being epileptic. There will be three contexts provided for them, to begin to create their expressions: seizures, anti-seizure medications and social perceptions. Much of the current research focuses on seizure activity so, the focus here will be on a balance of all three. Why these are chosen is explored further here, as all three are in-depth subjects. What connections can be found between the imagery once created, will then be explored from a phenomenological perspective.
