Why do I talk about Epilepsy and SUDEP?
To shatter stigmas, educate and to let others know worldwide that they are not alone.
Grateful to EpilepsyHu for publishing.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 18, during my first year of college. Those early days were scary and overwhelming, but I learned to take life one day at a time, lean on support, and find strength I didn’t know I had. Living with epilepsy is hard, but you are not alone.
Losing her son, JaCorey, to SUDEP changed Tiffany’s life forever. She wants to ensure other families are better informed than she was. Join her to #ChangeOurEpilepsyStory by raising awareness, challenging stigma, and starting conversations about epilepsy. https://t.co/wtBxHuY742

We're incredibly grateful to the advocacy partners, families, clinicians, and community members who helped make this possible. In addition, we celebrate the chief sponsors of this legislation: Senator @SenatorMorrison and @RepBobMorgan, for their tireless efforts. (2 of 3)

The findings offer new hope for early intervention and improved monitoring strategies, says study co-author and @NorthwesternMed Neurologist Stephan Schuele, MD, MPH. @NUFeinbergMed
