@otrodia.bsky.socialI will share with you all the fact that I just spent 5 days in the hospital after a fall (during a #seizure) that resulted in a "subdural hematoma" (google away, it's definitively very serious and messes w your cognitive abilities).
#epilepsy
My hands look exactly like that!

@labelreads.bsky.socialFor many people with #epilepsy, lack of quality sleep is one of the most critical seizure triggers. Scrolling on screens in the hour before bed can disrupt deep sleep cycles. How often do you find yourself using your phone right before bed? #EpilepsyAwareness
@labelreads.bsky.socialDid you know #epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions in older adults? Developing seizures later in life brings unique challenges, yet the more mature members of our community show incredible resilience every day. #OlderPersonsDay #EpilepsyAwareness

@labelreads.bsky.socialWhen recovering from a seizure, people with #epilepsy need empathy and reassurance. We do not need an immediate interrogation about what may have triggered it. There’s plenty of time for introspection and identifying triggers after we've fully recovered. #EpilepsyAwareness
@labelreads.bsky.socialDo you find that managing #epilepsy can be an emotional endurance test? Many find it's hard not to feel like we got the short end of the stick. Grieving lost independence, missed plans, and constant uncertainty is a completely valid part of the emotional journey. #EpilepsyAwareness
@labelreads.bsky.socialYou don't owe anyone your #epilepsy origin story. Continuously pushing someone to share private health details is a form of harassment. #EpilepsyAwareness
