Epilepsy Awareness

Not all seizures are the same, something I wasn’t aware of until my diagnosis. Epilepsy comes with tons of issues other than the seizures themselves. These pictures were after a seizure I had when I was alone. I have no idea what happened, but luckily I knew to call my mom afterwards. Questions? I love to raise awareness to possibly help others in similar situations! #epilespy #seizureawareness #epilespywarrior #seizures

... Read moreEpilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, but its effects extend far beyond those episodes. Many individuals grapple with memory loss, making even simple tasks daunting. Medications can lead to extreme fatigue, affecting daily life activities and overall well-being. The inability to drive can significantly alter a person's independence, creating emotional challenges and frustration. Physical injuries from seizures can also pose serious health risks. By fostering awareness and understanding, we can support epilepsy warriors and advocate for better resources and community help. Engage in discussions and share experiences to provide hope and solidarity in the epilepsy community. Join hashtags like #epilepsy and #seizureawareness to connect with others and raise your voice for this important cause.

What is epilepsy?
There is a lot of stigma around epilepsy and what it is since it’s not a visible disability. Do you want to learn more? Follow me for more information #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness #epilepsyawareness💜 #chronicillnessjourney #medicine

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! 🤷‍♀️

If I answer your questions it is because I feel comfortable sharing but please don’t get mad if I don’t answer you it’s just that, just because I share my life doesn’t mean I don’t deserve some privacy too. #seizureawareness #epilepsyunit #epilepsyawareness #eeg #fyp

So I finally got discharged after 5 long days in the epilepsy monitoring unit. 🧠💜 My neurologist/epileptologist gave me some “homework” to take with me. Basically, it’s the same thing I’ve been told before to watch out for my seizures but now there’s more follow-up involved. I have to start

The recovery after a seizure sucks. 🥺 But having Ace by my side through it all makes the world of difference. He doesn’t leave me until I’m safe & I feel like me again, and that kind of loyalty and comfort makes the hardest days a little less heavy. 💜🐾 #seizureawareness #epilepsyawareness #
