Epilepsy is a scary and painful condition that people suffer from. It’s not just the person with the condition but also the family. Amyn’s condition shook the world for my whole family. All of the crying and all of the praying was worth it. To all of the families loving someone with epilepsy 💜💜💜 You are very special. We were designed to here for them. I pray for comfort and healing to the families affected by epilepsy! I would like to share two facts with you. 💜According to Healthline.com 1 in 26 ppl will develop epilepsy at some point in their lives. Doesn’t this number make it sound like globally we should be more aware of this condition. Spread awareness today! 💜1/3 of people with epilepsy experience depression and anxiety- the most common comorbidity of the disease. #nationalepilepsyawarenessweek #epilepsyawareness #epilepsy #shareinfo #amynking #statistics #numberscount #share

November is CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) Awareness Month! 🔥 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a condition that can make even the gentlest touch feel like a blowtorch. 🌟 The good news is, a life cursed with pain isn't the only path. After treating hundreds to thousands of children and teens with CRPS, I can tell you that recovery is possible. 🔑 The key to success lies in multidisciplinary care. I've witnessed remarkable transformations, with children transitioning from wheelchairs to their sports once again. It's a testament to the power of comprehensive care. ⏰ One of the biggest hurdles we face is delayed treatment. CRPS is a clinical diagnosis, which means there are no definitive tests or imaging to confirm it. But once identified, a combination of physical therapy and cognitive therapy can reverse the altered nerve circuitry that has developed. While medications like anticonvulsants can help decrease nerve activity, the true strength lies in this holistic approach, engaging both body and mind. The message is clear: CRPS doesn't have to be a life sentence. Let's spread the word and ensure that early intervention becomes the norm for those facing this challenging condition. #CRPSAwareness #ChronicPain #RecoveryIsPossible #HolisticHealth #MedicalHope #EarlyIntervention #StrengthInUnity

March 26 marks the national day of #epilepsy awareness. This day, which is also known as the #purple day, was initially created by Cassidy Megan to get people talking about epilepsy, a disorder of the central nervous system that is mostly characterized by recurrent seizures. According to Purple Day's website, 65 million people have been estimated to have epilepsy worldwide, that is about 1 in 100 people. Although the exact cause of this disorder is yet to be determined, most cases are treatable using different antileptic drugs and therapies. As outsiders, we are responsible for educating ourselves and trying to #EndEpilepsyStigma. No disease or disorder should be stigmatized and no one should live in the fear of judgment for a condition that they have had no control over. Here's a quick link to some seizure first aid resources created by Epilepsy Toronto: https://lnkd.in/eBfH4gMz

Did you know that HHT is the second most common inherited bleeding disorder, yet it often flies under the radar? This March, join us in shining a light on HHT during Bleeding Disorder Awareness Month. 🩸 HHT is a #blooddisorder rooted in vascular anomalies, characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation, frequent nosebleeds, internal bleeding, and other complications. Living with HHT can be incredibly challenging, with bleeding episodes that can cause anemia, fatigue, and even life-threatening situations. Despite its prevalence, #HHT receives far less attention than rarer bleeding disorders like hemophilia. But together, we can change that! Join the conversation this #BleedingDisorderAwarenessMonth and help raise awareness for HHT.

Today is #WorldMSDay Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that impacts the central nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord. It affects over 2.3 million individuals worldwide and is one of the most prevalent illnesses of the central nervous system. Did you know that Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with an estimated 90,000 Canadians living with the disease? On average, 12 Canadians are diagnosed with MS everyday. Most people are diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20 and 49 and the unpredictable effects of the disease will last for the rest of their lives. Medications for MS provide some measure of control over the inflammation that injures nerve fibres, reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, and/or ease the impact of MS symptoms. Slowing the accumulation of nerve damage may also reduce or prevent further disability seen during the course of MS. The goal is to enhance understanding of the disease, advocate for improved access to treatment and care, and build a sense of unity within the MS community. MS Canada is a great resource for Canadians looking to find the right support tools, especially through various programs as well as relevant information around treatment and wellness options. Also, connecting with a wider MS community can help make sure that loneliness isn’t a symptom one experiences as well! If you or someone you know have been newly diagnosed with MS, check out their guide:

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month. 🧠 This month, national, provincial, and local associations run campaigns to increase awareness about the frequency of brain injury, as well as the obstacles that exist for those with brain injury, and the need for more services and support at all stages of recovery. It’s no secret how common brain injuries are; however, awareness on these injuries isn’t as common as you would think. This adds to both personal and systemic barriers that make daily living and community interactions challenging for the 1.5 million+ Canadians with a brain injury, their caregivers, and their families. For many individuals, the effects of brain injury are chronic and life-long. Yet there is little research on the long-term implications of brain injury, resulting in critical gaps in care for so many. For education on how you can support the brain injury community through education, advocacy, awareness and collaboration, please visit https://lnkd.in/gB2SAeJK You can also follow along on both our social media and Brain Injury Canada’s social media for information on how you can make a difference this June! #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth #BrainInjury #BrainInjuryAwareness #BrainInjuryCanada #BrainInjurySupport #BrainInjuryEducation #BrainInjuryRecovery #BrainInjuryCommunity #BrainInjuryResearch
