Today, we come together to raise awareness about epilepsy, a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Epilepsy is more than just seizures—it’s a journey of resilience, understanding, and hope for those living with it.

Let’s use this day
• Educate ourselves about the causes, symptoms, and treatments.
• Empower those affected to seek medical care without stigma.
• Encourage open conversations to foster understanding and acceptance.

By sharing it, you can help raise awareness and make a difference in breaking the stigma surrounding this condition.

He's decided he wants to wean off meds, but he's not sure when. There's an obligatory eeg, which for him is merely a formality because this dude, has never registered any abnormal electrical seizure activity on any of the myriad of eegs he's had in the past 6 years.

It'll take 6 weeks to wean off each med, and he cannot drive while weaning off meds, he also cannot drive for the 6 months after he's weaned off meds.

Thank good thoughts, the ginger on the right with the curls and sans glasses has an appointment with his neurologist tomorrow.

There is a good chance he might get permission to take driver's ed. He hasn't had seizures for over a year, but he still has other weird neurological, non-seizure activity that we've never been able to figure out. So getting permission is not a guarantee.
