It is Epilepsy Awareness Week 🇺🇸! Did you know that some people of #epilepsy can tell moments before they are going to have a #seizure? It is called an AURA and it is important as sensations can often lead doctors to narrow down where in the brain the seizure originates. pic.twitter.com/eeVE8f8ZYf

Today is the last day of Epilepsy Awareness Week 🇺🇸 #seizures don't consider a person's age, gender, race, nationality, or political views. While you might not know it, statistically an associate of yours already struggles with #epilepsy. Let's keep raising awareness all year! https://t.co/NJpymd4sl3
