@BrainAblaze If everyone spoke about their epilepsy it would let your friends and community be aware of it if it was to happen when you were with them and educate them on what to do. It would also give you confidence in going out without so much fear too.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze Have confidence in yourself and don’t bottle any thing that is worrying you bottle up in your head but talk to someone about it. Epilepsy is nothing to be ashamed of and don’t hide it from anyone so they are aware of it as it’s best for your safety.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1972 and it was in 2000 that I had neurosurgery on my brain. It was a big decision to take but I’m very pleased that I said yes to it being done as it changed my life for all good reasons and I’m so independent now too.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze I just try to do the best every time at everything I am still able to do in every day life like every other person does who doesn’t live with epilepsy including my every day working job.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze So true because I had an operation on my brain to lazer out the part of the brain that was triggering off my seizures and afterwards they asked me if I still wanted to use my medication afterwards and I said yes and I’m pleased I did because I feel comfortable with them.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze Ask your neurologist to supply you with a letter indicating that you can not apply for a drivers licence because of your hidden disability. And apply for a free bus pass from your local council and that will provide you with mobility to help you travel around your area.

@BrainAblaze Stress was the cause of mine!

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@DartsBehindThe Of cause he should, he’s a man, with a great talent and charm. And he still has the skills of throwing darts in treble 20’s and a pleasure to watch too. He’s a true Flying Scotsman and will be truly missed too if he is not in the Premier!

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@theamelia__ Oh course they did! There was no trouble on the streets back then and it was pure British people over here then. Their parents didn’t have much to worry about doing that then.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze Because you could carry on having seizures you could not come out of seizing and die. I’ve had an experience of this once and survived luckily!

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@ipswichspeedway @chrislouisIWSC @IpswichTown @rhr_211 @DannyKingRacing Also Chris the news that was published yesterday about you and Richie are both standing down from speedway and that Ipswich Witches is up for sale broke so many hearts and we will be lost without you too. After all you have done for the club we can’t believe it we are truly upset

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@ipswichspeedway @chrislouisIWSC @IpswichTown @rhr_211 @DannyKingRacing Chris with winning the Premiership this year and with all the riders have achieved between them and the award for the Ipswich Witches Speedway too. You must be very happy and proud with yourself for how the club has achieved so much in 2025.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze @Starbucks Why not it would make the world more aware of epilepsy and more retailers should follow in their footsteps too.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze The CT scan and MRI scan was the best for me especially before I had surgery in 2000 and was in theatre for 6 hours.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze 99% of the time unless there is a specific reason why I have to take them earlier or later than informed too. And always go to bed between 10 and 11 o’clock at night too.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze I’ve had surgery on the brain and having that done I only have a seizure once in a blue moon instead of maybe 10 to 12 seizures a day.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze I totally agree! If the world saw more posts on epilepsy then they would understand what actions to take, and what was happening to that person and how to get that person as soon as possible.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze @epilepsyaction I am not petrified of having a seizure because I get no warning when it comes and it can’t be helped. It can happen to anyone unexpectedly and that is one reason why everyone should be told what to do if it happens so that they are aware of it.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@PinkSweets87 @BrainAblaze I had surgery in 2000 because I was having 6 to 8 seizures a day and the seizures got worse when my hormones changed. It was the only opportunity I was given and I’m glad I said yes to it because now I only have maybe 2 to 3 a year but still on medication.

[Sandra Turner @sjayneturner65]

@BrainAblaze Don’t feel ashamed of yourself it is just another everyday illness that you can’t control. Don’t hide it from anyone for your own safety and see your doctor straight away.
