The available data suggests that just having epilepsy alone 1 Does not increase the risk of getting COVID-19 AND 2 Does not increase the severity of COVID-19. Some people with epilepsy regardless of seizure control have other health conditions that put them at higher risk from COVID-19. They may be taking medicines to control seizures that also affect their immune system (for example, ACTH, steroids, immunotherapies). Or they may have other neurological or developmenta...l issues that affect their immunity. People in these situations are at greater risk of developing more severe symptoms with viral illnesses. People with epilepsy may have other medical problems that could place them at higher risk of developing more severe symptoms with COVID-19. For example, people who have problems swallowing or frequently inhale food or liquids into their lungs (aspiration) are at higher risk for pneumonia. People with diabetes or underlying heart or lung problems also appear to be at higher risk for severe COVID-19. Regardless of your situation, it is important for anyone with epilepsy to talk to their PANDA provider about their individual risks and if any specific medical precautions are needed. When a person with epilepsy gets sick with another illness, especially with a fever, they may notice a change or increase in their seizures. The illness is a physical and emotional stressor to the body that could make seizures more likely. The same happens if someone is sick with COVID-19. Other triggers may include: -Not eating or drinking normally -Not being able to take medications regularly (for example, if vomiting is a problem) -Not being able to sleep well -Worry and anxiety about seizures and COVID-19 may affect people Preliminary information from countries where outbreaks have occurred suggests that the risk of worsening seizures with COVID-19 appears to be low for most people with epilepsy. If you or a loved one develop COVID-19 and notice changes in seizures, contact us immediately. 678-705-7341 https://www.pandaneurology.com/ (verified data from epilepsy experts and updates published on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) COVID-19 (coronavirus) website) #pandaneurology #coronavirus #coronavirusandepilepsy #covid19 #covid19andepilepsy #epilepsywarning #seizures #seizuretriggers #epilepsy #epilepsywarrior

Rama has suffered chronic migraine attacks most of her life. Five years ago, the Cincinnati artist began trying to paint them. How does she paint a migraine? "When I close my eyes, I feel this imagery," she said. "It starts somewhere on the top, and it sort of floats down. And it's a symphony of colors." Priya Rama's paintings are bright, often arresting with brilliant colors. But the source of those intense colors is intense pain. "The first thing I feel is pressure in my te...mples, almost like my head is getting squeezed in," she said. Sometimes she paints during a migraine, but if it is overwhelming, she will later paint what she remembers.

In addition, between 41 percent and 49 percent of patients experienced relief from their most severe migraine symptoms. The drug is also being marketed as the first oral medicatio...n of its class to treat acute migraines and bothersome symptoms in adults with or without aura.

People with autism have more brain-related health problems, such as headaches and epilepsy, than typical people do, according to a survey of twins. The study is the first to look at associations between autism and physical health problems among twins: News out of the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The researchers hope to analyze a larger database, such as the Child and Adolescent Twin Study in Sweden, which has more than 32,000 participants. Ultimately, they say, they hope their work will help scientists identify autism subtypes and pathways that underlie the condition. #autism #epilepsy #autismandepilepsy #twinstudy #brainhealth #neurodevelopmental #autismawareness #epilepsyawareness

A new Cedars-Sinai study reveals how memory and abnormal brain activity are linked in patients with epilepsy who often report problems with memory. The data shows that abnormal electrical pulses from specific brain cells in these patients are associated with a temporary kind of memory disruption called transient cognitive impairment. Understanding this process has the potential to lead to improvements in treating epilepsy patients, as well as contribute to knowledge of how ...memory works. #epilepsynews https://medicalxpress.com//2020-01-epilepsy-link-brain-mem #memory #epilepsyandmemory #neurology #neurologyresearch #epilepsy

When choosing a movie this holiday, please note that Disney issued a statement with the Epilepsy Foundation warning viewers that the "Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker" contains "several sequences with imagery and sustained flashing lights" that could affect those with photosensitive epilepsy, the letter reads.

It... also helps if that friend knows seizure first aid -- stay with the person, keep them safe and away from objects that could harm them and turn the person on their side if they're not conscious. https://www.cnn.com//star-wars-epilepsy-warning/index.html #epilepsy #epilepsyfoundation #photosensitiveepilepsy #starwars #newstarwarsmovie #riseofskywalker #photosensitivewarning #pandaneurology
