A friend was telling me how he's had multiple seizures in his life this weekend. I asked if he had ever considered it being epilepsy. His response "nah, I'm good with flashing lights." He was shocked when I told him photosensitivity accounts for around 3% of epilepsy diagnosis😲

@HealthPioneer @epilepsysociety @epilepsyadvice My late daughter had a rare disease PME-SMA & had constant seizures. Thousands a day. I’m in awe of how she lived with them. We need to educate everyone on how to deal with a grand mal. It’s empowering to be ready. Too many people still stigmatize this condition

@epilepsyaction @epilepsyadvice Each time I have one I dislocate my shoulders. It’s important that people know what to do. I am very fortunate that my partner is incredibly educated on this type of seizure but we should have pretend they happen. Thank you for sharing

Well, I’ve just seen my new hero. Bryson @Helmets4Helmets - what a tough little legend and doing more to help others. He’s 7. ‘Don’t be what the seizures can make you’ @NFL @epilepsyadvice @EpilepsyFdn @epilepsysociety #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth @tottster
“He’s the toughest person I know.” Bryson is 7 years old with epilepsy, and suffers from as many as 100 seizures in a day. He wears a helmet to protect himself in case he falls. Now he’s on a quest to help others in need. (via @SlaterNFL) x.com/nfl/status/106…
