As someone who also has epilepsy, thank you so much for making this. <3
You ever thought about doing a comic about what seizures are actually like in real life?
Most people like me have only seen them on TV shows like House, usually where the person’s already in a hospital surrounded by medical professionals. Your experience with it would be way more enlightening.
I know it’s a serious subject but I’m sure there might even be some humour in the more mundane aspects of it.
a small addition to point 3 if i may…
If the seizure happens in a small space (such a room) try to make as much space around the person as you can. Sometimes movements can be very wide and the person having a seizure might hit furniture or anything in the way quite hard.
I know how hard can be… my mother in law suffers from them quite often.
Best of luck and lots of love to both of you (and the future helping doggie) 🙂
This information is so incredibly important, I had to learn it on the fly, a couple months ago at work, when one of my coworkers had a seizure in the middle of lunch rush, on the grill line at work. I was so grateful to have several coworkers who were going to nursing school, because I learned so much on how to react and treat someone who is seizing. This information needs to be spread like wildfire!
Been reading you for years and had no idea K had epilepsy. My fiancée has epilepsy and it’s been so scary and stressful. Back in January she had a grand mal and cut her eyelid open with a butter knife and we spent over 24 hours in the hospital. Anyway long story short it’s just really nice and validating to know we’re not alone, and that two people who we admire and always enjoy seeing things from knows what this feels like. Thank you ❤️
