This Month is Epilepsy Awareness Month. My youngest child has had it since his teens so I would like to add it to my lineup of this to post about.
Epilepsy Awareness Month
Purple Day: A Young Girl's Campaign for Epilepsy Awareness
On November 9th, 2008, Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada, launched the first Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness.
@TheNewsOwl thanks for the reminder π (I have my FB account turned off currently so I wouldnβt see reminders from my neuro friends there)
My daughter was dx with epilepsy in 2007. It was a rough few years until 2012 when we finally found a med that got her seizures under control. A med of last resort due to potential serious side effects (like death π±). This was the seventh different med she tried so I wasnβt too hopeful but it worked! She still takes Felbatol but we did switch to generic.
@AverageCitizen So glad to hear she found one that worked for her. I was fortunate to find one as well for my son. β€οΈ β€οΈ β€οΈ
