Today I signed myself up for the #PortlandMarathon (just the half!). After an initial "no", my husband agreed to do it with me. We've been conditioned to expect the worst, so I get it AND am so happy that he will be by my side. But, first I have to get the right shoes... 🤔

Hi everyone! I've been away for a bit - don't love what Twitter is becoming, so I'll mostly be on IG now. But, find me there! AND, I'm speaking at the @CleClinicMD next month at their annual Epilepsy LIFE Symposium. Go in person or just watch the live stream! 1/3

OMG - how do I raise a tween boy?! He’s sweet and then he’s a hormone machine and then he’s sweet. I can’t keep up. 🤣🤦‍♀️ #tween #parenting

I've been a little quiet lately on Twitter. Just trying to get used to this brave new world of school year schedules. Finally made a color-coded schedule for each kid and stuck it on the fridge. Now I'm feeling better. I'll be around. Everyone good?

Two massive seizures in one day?!! And the day before kids’ school starts?! Dr said it was probably from the stomach virus I had that kept me vomiting all AM. Anyone else experience that as a trigger? #epilepsy #neurotwitter #AreYouKiddingMe 💜☹️

Never thought this was a thing, but evidently it is. So, please don't give others your anti-seizure meds. Bad idea and potentially dangerous. #seizures @epilepsysociety @EpilepsyFdnLA @EpilepsyFdn @epilepsyaction @CureEpilepsy 💜
This should go without saying, but we've had some questions about it so: PLEASE don't let others "try" your anti-seizure meds. Your doctor prescribed them specifically to you and they could cause unnecessary side-effects or vicious interactions with other meds. #EpilepsyAwareness

Replying to @elonmusk
@elonmusk - #TheX is putting people with #epilepsy at risk for seizures. Seeing as 1 in 26 people have epilepsy and many of them are #photosensitive, this really is a public safety issue. THANK YOU @iamgothamgirl and @epilepsysociety for talking about this issue. @sfchronicle

It looks like we're back from being suspended, but our follower count is zero. Please follow us again and share/retweet to anyone who you think might be interested in raising #EpilepsyAwareness

PSA: ALWAYS wear a properly fitting helmet when on a bike, scooter or skateboard. I just had a #seizure while biking, and my helmet saved my life. Although it does now have to be replaced. Better a dent in the plastic than in my skull. @BrainAblaze @hegdenothedge @EpilepsyFdn
