@epilepsysociety Is there any medication to help memory loss problems caused by seizures?

[Epilepsy Society @epilepsysociety]

Memory can be one of the key issues that affects people with #epilepsy. This can be due to the type of seizures they have, the effects of medication, the effects of epilepsy on concentration or mood, lack of sleep, age, or the effects of epilepsy surgery. https://t.co/aqEngdKF3J

Beautiful idea.

[Epilepsy Foundation of America @EpilepsyFdn]

1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. About one child in every classroom. School nurses care for students with epilepsy every day. Learn more about the Epilepsy Foundation’s school nurse training program: https://t.co/qY99SzFZxJ. #SBHCmonth19 #EpilepsyAwareness

We are in this TOGETHER! 💪

[END EPILEPSY @EndEpilepsy]

Refractory (uncontrolled) epilepsy is overwhelming. We will keep fighting until there are therapies that will prevent and cure epilepsy! Let's #UseOurBrains to #EndEpilepsy by advocating and supporting for more research.

[Brain & Epilepsy Nigeria @brain_epilepsy]

Wow!! Congratulations!

[Epilepsy Positivity @epilepsyposi]

Crying happy tears - I just received the ‘Volunteer of the Year Award’ from @GreatOrmondSt for making an exceptional difference ⭐️ Just shows people with epilepsy really can achieve their dreams ☺️🎊

[Epilepsy Positivity @epilepsyposi]

Random question of the day:

If you could describe what living with epilepsy is like using only emojis, which would you pick? 🤔

[Brain & Epilepsy Nigeria @brain_epilepsy]

@epilepsyposi 😪😨😭😫

[END EPILEPSY @EndEpilepsy]

The impact of seizures and epilepsy can be significant in adults. It is important that we take action and speak out. Because if all of us can get Epilepsy, all of us can End Epilepsy. Let's #UseOurBrains to #EndEpilepsy by advocating on issues that matter to our community.

[Epilepsy Foundation of America @EpilepsyFdn]

Thank you @Newsweek for helping us spread awareness about #epilepsy and #SUDEP in this week’s issue. It's important to get the word out about the risks epilepsy may have. Let’s #UseOurBrains to #EndEpilepsy because the time is now to educate and raise awareness for our fight.

[Brain & Epilepsy Nigeria @brain_epilepsy]

Very saddening!

[CURE Epilepsy @CureEpilepsy]

"We've had experience as parents going to hospitals where they've said, 'Oh, we can't deal with your son because he has epilepsy.'"

Louis Stanislaw's book "Voices From The Heart" battles this kind of harmful epilepsy stigma. Learn more: https://t.co/sOxcMfn5Hk

[Brain @Brain1878]

Gajardo-Vidal et al. show how stroke can impair speech comprehension by damaging right hemisphere regions that are required to support speech comprehension even in the absence of atypical lateralisation. https://t.co/u4385WY407

[Brain & Epilepsy Nigeria @brain_epilepsy]

Very much needed!!

[CURE Epilepsy @CureEpilepsy]

Children with #epilepsy should undergo #genetic testing every 2 years to keep pace with scientific advances, according to a study by @utswnews: https://t.co/s4U1VHOCt4

[Brain & Epilepsy Nigeria @brain_epilepsy]

This must #STOP! People with #epilepsy are humans and should be treated with love.

[CURE Epilepsy @CureEpilepsy]

50% of people report feeling stigmatized because of their #epilepsy diagnosis. Discover what research says you can do to combat stigma in our free webinar on November 28: https://t.co/Y34xs01hrD
