Have you heard of a WADA test? It's a critical tool for people considering #epilepsy surgery! The test temporarily puts one side of the brain to "sleep" to help doctors determine where language and memory functions are located, minimizing surgical risk. #EpilepsyAwareness

I had WADA testing back in 2023. If you want to learn more about it please log onto my blog MyGlitch.org go to entries dated January 1st & January 5th 2023. 💜 I did not qualify for surgery, but it still helped my Mayo Neurology Team gain data. #EpilepsyAdvocate

Have you noticed that your seizures occur around your time of the month? -- Catamenial #epilepsy is all about hormonal shifts. The changing levels of estrogen and progesterone can make the brain more susceptible to seizures. #EpilepsyAwareness brainablaze.com/blog/why-doe…

Jon Stewart hosted ‘THE DAILY SHOW’ tonight in its “patriotically obedient” era after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended. Stewart said that The First Amendment is now determined by the “niceness to the President” & if that isn’t strong enough then the “FCC must be notified to threaten the acquisition prospects for billion dollar mergers of network affiliates”

DYKT about 30% of people with #epilepsy cannot manage their seizures through meds alone? Neuromodulation, the ketogenic diet, and neurosurgery can sometimes help, but what we really need is a cure. #EpilepsyAwareness
