@seizingtoday Hugs! That feels terrible. But I'll tell you. One minute seizure-free is as big an accomplishment as one month. 💜💜💜

Why isn’t epilepsy and those affected highlighted more by health organizations?

Epilepsy is the 4th most common neurological disorder yet gets very little attention.

Anyone else agree this is a problem?

Forgot - the prevalence of #epilepsy is 0.11%.

[Matt Gutting @matgutting]

@TiffanyKairos @muttmyers I've seen how many ads for drugs to control psoriatic arthritis (prevalence 0.1 - 0.2%), multiple sclerosis (prevalence 0.3%), and metastatic breast cancer (prevalence 0.3 - 0.4%).

None for drugs to control #epilepsy. None.

@GinaCkris @matgutting Oh no! 😡 Have you reached out to anyone at @brain_epilepsy or @EpilepsyNigeria ?

[Epilepsy Empowered @EpilepsyEmp]

@TiffanyKairos I'm going to disagree slightly. I think it's possible to understand the severity of how a person feels without being able to imagine their specific symptoms. Perhaps that's better expressed by "I understand how bad you're feeling" but I usually assume that's what people mean.

Today is #PurpleDay2021! #AskMeAnything about #epilepsy or #seizures!

The number in the picture is wrong. It should not say "200 of them will die." That number should probably be about 1300.

@saaimali_ You'd lose against me, I can out-stare a cat 😁

@TheNotoriousEEG For a particular value of "easy" 😂

[Epilepsy Empowered @EpilepsyEmp]

@TheNotoriousEEG It means things are localized?

@kaileyh175 @lance_fogan I got caught over the holiday break with no refills and had a seizure 😕 I should have called the on-call doctor at the neuro office and explained so they could refill.

@TheNotoriousEEG If you thought interpreting an EEG was an art form, try deducing a sentence from this:

[Epilepsy Empowered @EpilepsyEmp]

@TheNotoriousEEG Yeah, that's typical. Get a tape recorder that can do spectral analysis on sounds.

[Epilepsy Empowered @EpilepsyEmp]

@TheNotoriousEEG It says that just over half of people pronounce them the same. It also says that people from Philly pronounce them different. Good luck 😛
