Beating the odds!

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

The goal of this account is to spread seizure awareness, education, ableism/discrimination of them.

This is what you should do when someone has a seizure – remember stay, safe, side:

STAY with the person and start timing the seizure. Stay with them until they are awake and alert after the seizure.

Keep the person SAFE (if it's safe to do so, put something soft under their head).

Turn the person onto their SIDE ("recovery position") if they are not awake and aware.

Call emergency services if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, if they have repeated seizures, if they have difficulty breathing, if the seizure occurs in water, if the person does not return to their usual state, if it's their first seizure, if they ask for medical help, or if the person is injured, pregnant, or sick.

What you should NOT do:

Do NOT put anything in their mouth. Forcing something in their mouth may chip their teeth, cut their gums, or even break someone's jaw.

Do NOT restrain them (don't hold them down).

I have had seizures for a very long time. I take meds daily to regulate and still have break through seizures. This issue is especially close to my heart. I regularly have to rely on the kindness and awareness of strangers and that can be incredibly vulnerable. So as your friendly neighborhood epileptic and RN BSN here’s some additional info!

1. Look for alert jewelry/ patches they give good info

2. Being out of it after a seizure is to be expected people may have trouble speaking or have delayed processing. Be calm be kind stay with them.

3WHEN TO CALL EMS: If this is someone’s first seizure, if they hit their head or are visibly injured, they aren’t breathing (interruptions in breathing happen but if it persists longer than 40 seconds at a time or breathing fully stops call EMS), seizure continues for more than 4 minutes (5 is dangerous call EMS if they are still down at 4), they don’t come to before having another seizure

4. Vomiting or loss of bladder control may happen it’s nothing to be ashamed of(try to keep head turned to prevent choking)

5. Seizures are scary people are often scared or exausted after. A calm presence is so so helpful. Additionally keeping a crowd away is something appreciated. If the situation is being handled encourage people to not crowd.

even if you can't fall asleep, laying down with your eyes closed will still rest your body

you don't have to brush your teeth standing up

you don't have to do any chore standing up, from dishes to showering

you don't have to shower with the lights on

if you can't brush your teeth, flossing and a tongue scraper gets rid of plaque and bad breath

if you can't do that, mouthwash kills a lot of bacteria

eating "unhealthy" food is better than eating no food

you can make the same meal everyday for however long you still want it

some pills come in syrups or chewables if you can't swallow them

kids nutritional shakes can be a quick way to get fuel if you can't eat/don't have time

if walking hurts/exhausts you on a regular basis, canes and rollers are for you, no matter how young you are
