Hi All! I know it's already the afternoon where I live but wanted to let you all know that today is an International awareness day for folks who have Epilepsy. Today, March 26th is "Purple Day" (all organized by a young girl) and by wearing purple and telling people why, you might bring some awareness to this. I did just that. I wore a purple top when teaching my spin class this morning and ended with a cool down to Prince's Purple Rain :). I found out about this day from my daughter's online high school announcements.
I'm not actually aware of anyone I know having Epilepsy, but I know that we certainly share experiences with these individuals since we are on the same terrible meds. Since being diagnosed and living with TN, I have become quite empathetic to other disorders and diseases. I'm so thankful to have had a successful MVD and to be off those meds but I think often about not only my fellow TN friends here but also the millions of people with Epilepsy who live every day, every year, and likely a lifetime on these meds. I will say a special prayer for those with Epilepsy tonight.
