Happy bday to #football great #AlanFaneca! He is not only a hall of fame #superbowlchampion, but also outspoken advocate for #epilepsyawareness! He was a beast when he was playing and that’s why I think he’s the picture of the term #epilepsywarrior #invisibleillnesswarrior

Happy bday to #baseball great #TonyLazzeri! Did he die of a #heartattack or was it #epilepsy related death? Many now think his death was because of a #seizure. He is a great example that people w/ #epileptic #seizures or just those who have seizures are sometimes great athletes.

Recently, I heard a whimsical claim by a #neurologist that all of his #epilepsy patients on #XCopri (cenobamate tablets) were #seizurefree. That might be true, but the anti #epileptic drug (AED) used to treat partial-onset #seizures in adult patients is still fairly new (2019)

#Fear is a thought process that triggers the #fightorflight response. So, fear itself is imagined only, but does cause real consequences #anxietyrelief #dangerisrealfearischoice #fears #afraid #feartheunknown #unknownfacts #stigmafighter #stigmafighters #invisibleillnesswarrior

Is it dangerous living w/ #epilepsy? Yes, but there are always dangers in the world, so that’s why we continue to live our lives and get ourselves out there. #epilepsyfighter #stigma #epilepsyfight #epilepsystrong #epilepsystrength #seizures #seizuressuck #epilepsyawarenessmonth

#Anxiety is one of the biggest side effects of #anticonvulsants, but it is also a big #seizuretrigger & the result of having many #seizures over time. The fear of #seizureawareness causes one to get #anxious

Happy bday to famous #author #JonathanSwift, known for classic novel #Gulliverstravels. Many thought that he suffered from many #illnesses & that played a part in the feel in his stories. For example, he was possibly diagnosed with #epilepsy, #hydrocephalus, #depression, etc.

I give a shout out to you for staying strong in the fight against #epilepsy, living with #stigma, and possibly circumstances that have led to a lower quality of life at times. Happy #epilepsyawarenessmonth & continue to spread #epilepsyawareness in full force. #invisibleillness

#Loneliness is a serious problem, but you don’t have to feel alone when living with #epilepsy. It is one of the most common #neurologicaldisorders & there is a big support system out there, online and possibly in your local community. #epilepsyadvocate #nationalinstituteofhealth

How severe can a mild #epileptic #seizure turn into? When referring to #nocturnalseizures, they can be both focal, generalized, so how mild is the jolt or falling experience right before falling asleep? #epilepsy #epilepsie #epilepsia #epilepsywarriors #epilepsywarrior #seizures

How do you live well with #epilepsy? If your #seizures aren’t controlled, it doesn’t help to be on edge about it and #worrying never helped any problem. #Calm, #Centered, and #Controlled are the 3 C’s of #anxiety #epilepsyawareness #epilepsyawarenessmonth #invisibleillness
