Happy Holidays!

 

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! 

This holiday season is different for most of us due to the pandemic, but for people with epilepsy, one thing remains the same. The chance of increased seizures goes up during this time of year because of the change in activity and stress that comes with it.

I can speak from experience. This has happened to me. The best thing I find is to take a break, a nap. People are understanding when you need to take care of yourself.

Best wishes for a happy holiday and healthy, seizure-free new year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is that time of the year again, when we give thanks for the things we have, and soon we will be in the gift-giving season. In general, this is a time of good cheer and connections with family and friends. However, for people with epilepsy, it can be difficult at times. The hustle and bustle of the holiday is often stressful, which can cause seizures. Things like staying up late to socialize and going shopping among large crowds especially are especially seizure-inducing. Of course drinking alcohol is an obvious one to watch out for.

In order to regulate yourself and try to have as few seizures as possible, try to eliminate as many seizure triggers as you can.

Wishing you all a very Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
