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 ✌️🎄

1. This one gets real. I was misdiagnosed and written off to psych for 22 years. Then they found the presumably congenital lesion in my brain. It was #seizures and #epilepsy. My world suddenly made sense. If your treatment isn’t working for your diagnosis, kindly ask questions (…)

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. 🤪

Yup.

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

You have to take care of your brain. Listen to what it needs.
