We saw someone on the other platform make the joke that a person with #Epilepsy might swallow their tongue. It's impossible to swallow one's tongue. If you witness a seizure never put something in the person's mouth. -- What's another Epilepsy myth that should be debunked? #EpilepsyAwareness
It’s #Christmas lights season and it is a tough time for #epileptics. It is true not all of us are triggered into a #seizure immediately. However, many of us are still significantly bothered by lights. An accumulation of #sensory overload can increase the risk of a seizure. #epilepsy #neurology ✌️🎄
This meme is hilarious. 😂 However, for epileptics, this cartoon is not hyperbole. Our thoughts can absolutely feel scrambled and disjointed to this degree. If you feel this way, you’re not alone. This is a common symptom. But hey, let’s have a laugh together. 🤪 #epilepsy #neurology #seizures
We made it! We got through a stressful holiday! Sadly, all magic comes with a price, and I had a seizure this morning. I’m ok; it was a small focal. It happened. Seeing my fam was worth it. Every day is new & we keep going gallantly. We conquered Thanksgiving & see us prevail. #memoryloss #epilepsy
For those with memory loss, I see you this #Thanksgiving; the anxiety you have going into tomorrow. Will you: remember faces/names, struggle to reminisce with family while pretending to know the stories, be so overwhelmed you need to leave? It’s ok to feel this anxiety. 💜 #epilepsy #memoryloss
Having some seizure stuff happening tonight. I realized I’m avoiding calling my doc b/c of the clunky automated phone system - knowing it will take 15 min of verifying identity and 4+ button pushes, wondering I’m worthy of a human answering my call, then being told they will call me back… #epilepsy
You have to take care of your brain. Listen to what it needs. #epilepsy #seizures #epilepsyawareness
