Friday Thoughts: Health, Epilepsy & Getting Prepared

Morning all!
Hope everyone’s doing well and enjoying this Friday — we’ve made it to the end of the week!

Lately, I’ve been reflecting a bit more on my health. I live with myoclonic epilepsy, and although it’s something I’ve managed for a while now, it still finds ways to catch me off guard sometimes.

Last month, I had a bit of a moment — I suddenly felt shaky all over my body and just couldn’t concentrate. It was a strange, unsettling feeling. Thankfully, it doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it really makes me pause and think.

One thing that came to mind during all of this was the fact that I don’t currently wear any form of medical ID. Years ago, back in my twenties, I used to wear a medical alert bracelet — but like so many things, over time it just stopped being part of my routine.

Now, I’m starting to think it’s time to bring that back.

While browsing online, I came across a medical ID bracelet that really stood out — modern, stylish, and best of all, it connects to your phone. All your important medical information can be accessed quickly if needed. It gave me peace of mind just looking at it.

Living with epilepsy means being prepared — not in fear, but with quiet confidence. And sometimes, it’s the little things like a simple bracelet that can make all the difference if the unexpected happens.

So, that’s my little reminder to myself (and maybe to you, too): take a moment to check in with your health, think about what you might need, and don’t hesitate to take small steps that could have a big impact.

Wishing you all a calm, happy Friday. Be kind to yourselves.
