Showdown: Epilepsy vs hEDS

2025/1/18 Edited to

Epilepsy and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) are both chronic conditions that can significantly impact an individual's daily life. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures due to excessive electrical activity in the brain, while hEDS is a connective tissue disorder leading to hypermobility and joint pain. Living with both conditions can be particularly challenging. Individuals may experience overlapping symptoms, such as fatigue and chronic pain, which can complicate diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, treatments for epilepsy, such as medication, may sometimes exacerbate symptoms of hEDS. It is essential for patients and healthcare providers to collaborate closely when managing these conditions to develop comprehensive care plans. Understanding the interplay of these disorders can help in providing better support, lifestyle adjustments, and therapeutic strategies. Overall, raising awareness about both epilepsy and hEDS is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for those affected.

A young woman smiles, wearing a white Epilepsy Foundation t-shirt over a pink long-sleeved shirt. Text overlay states, "And suddenly her brain stopped working properly so managing uncontrollable seizures was priority #1."

A bright sun shines through clouds in a sky, casting rays. Text overlay reads, "Which is crazy because...".

A young girl with blonde pigtails and a pink butterfly shirt smiles in a photo. Text overlay says, "She didn't even know that the brain was capable of doing such a thing..."

Epilepsy is wild.

Myoclonic Epilepsy... not spacing out.

After Harley had her first seizure. She almost immediately started blinking oddly, eyes would stay closed yet she would still talk. Other times she would just stare at us and jerk. This became so often that it was very apparent that there was more going on. We were thankful on the other hand bec

Purple Books for Epilepsy Awareness

Last week was Purple Day! It's Epilepsy awareness!! I don't know how many know, but I was diagnosed 16 years ago, when I was 21 years old with epilepsy. I was in the Army at the time, and the general guess is that duplicate vaccinations may have been the cause, but nobody really knows! 🤷‍♀️

Epilepsy on a child is a parents heartbreak.

Harley who has always been so healthy, fell in my arms unexpectedly 7 months ago. I instantly realized "OMG, OUR BABY IS SEIZING!" Even though I suffer from them. I was not prepared to see such a tiny body suddenly jerk, pulse, and stop breathing. Finally this week we got her diagnosis. Myo

Epilepsy/Brain Surgery

My first brain surgery was 2021. It was such a crazy situation. It was around my son’s birthday. I had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks. I had to shave my head. They put probes in my head to find where my seizures were coming from. #brainsurgery #epilespy

I’ve shared before about living with panic attacks, but I guess my body decided I wasn’t giving the proper rest and care she needed. Thank God for my boyfriend, becaus
