While we believe it, it's hard to tell people with #epilepsy to not to be embarrassed about their seizures. Feelings don't work that way. What we do ask is that no one let that embarrassment hinder reaching out to medical professionals for help. #EpilepsyAwareness

Have you seen the long-standing myth that having #epilepsy grants instant creative genius? People often cite figures like Van Gogh or Dostoevsky. While living with seizures can shape one's perspective, epilepsy itself isn't a "gateway to creativity". #EpilepsyAwareness

feel a lot better having slept. Still a little nauseous but I'm like that all the time and I'm not as dizzy. I'm going to rest the week and try to let this stuff get out of my system. Just another fun night in the E.R. 😑

Sometimes the stats around #epilepsy are confusing. While 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with Epilepsy sometime in their life, 1 in 100 people live with the condition right now. Many people are diagnosed late in life pushing the 1 in 100 down to 1 in 26. #EpilepsyAwareness

Is "help the way you would have wanted to be helped" always good advice? The average person doesn't know the needs of a person with #epilepsy. Are you good at asking for help the way you need it? #EpilepsyAwareness

Life is filled with big transitions (puberty, first job, marriage, children). If you were diagnosed as an adult, was any transition as challenging as becoming a person living with #epilepsy? #EpilepsyAwareness

A review of pediatric deep brain stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy found promising seizure reduction, though seizure freedom was less common and adverse events were reported. Learn what the evidence means for children and families. #EpilepsyExplained #Epilepsy 💜.

Myth: All people with #epilepsy are aggressive.

ACTUAL: Seizures can trigger behavior which can be misconstrued as aggression. Misunderstandings during or after a seizure often lead to conflict, making education and patience essential for everyone involved. #EpilepsyAwareness

A systematic review explored how sleep-related epilepsy may affect memory and cognition, including nighttime discharges, while highlighting important limits in the evidence. #EpilepsyExplained #Epilepsy 💜.

Sweet little #snom I made out of pompoms :D been really crafty dealing with #Epilepsy recently since I can't play games rn

A review explores how multimodal imaging can help locate seizure sources and guide epilepsy surgery planning, while highlighting its limitations and the need for expert team evaluation. #EpilepsyExplained #Epilepsy 💜.

I made it to 3 weeks without a #seizure today, about 20 minutes after leaving a local #epilepsy support group. Yesterday was exhausting, and I overslept, so I am putting them as the trigger. Last thing I remember is going up hill towards one of the shops in Newcastle, and coming to at monument.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and empathy with us. I have learnt much.

2 weeks seizure free!!!
