Description

National Epilepsy Week .actually not until May 2017, but I heard a man speaking about it today. either he was late or very early. Supported by Epilepsy Action, National Epilepsy Week aims to raise awareness about epilepsy and gather support for people with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition in which a person experiences recurrent seizures. Also referred to as 'fits', seizures are caused by a sudden increase of excess electrical activity within the brain. An increase in electrical activity within the brain is known as 'epileptic activity'. Excess electrical activity interferes with the normal function of the brain causing a temporary interruption of messages which pass between brain cells http://www.whathealth.com/awareness/event/nationalepilepsyweek.html when I was in a college psychology class a student had a seizure and the professor kept lecturing for at least 5-6 minutes before he realized something was happening in the class. he never noticed that a student had left to call an ambulance when I took this picture just recently there were thousands of birds lining the wires side by side for 2-3 blocks plus crosswise also. I do not know what the are, but we have migrations each year and they own the Walmart parking lots. I avoid parking near any trees

Good public service announcement on epilepsy. So common, yet so few know about it. Nice idea illustrating the text with the birds. Keep up the good work! :-)

One frustrating condition to live with. People tend to stuff the knowledge of this in the back of the closet, like it's something weird or dirty. It's always good to bring it out and educate people. WalMart birds!!! We feed them whenever we go there. LOL

Can't tell what the birds are - I'm not familiar with western American birds. Around here the starlings flock in the spring and fall. The sky can be black with them. In high school we had a friend with epilepsy - she'd have Grande Mal seizures.

Da fällt mir ein deutsches Volkslied ein: Alle Vögel sind schon da.Amsel,Drossel,Fink und Star......... I am reminded of a German folk song: All the birds are already there,Blackbird, Bluebird, Finch and Star. LOL Super Foto,love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great capture and interesting informations about epilepsy. In the Middle Ages it was considered as witchcraft. Fortunately, we have more information nowadays about this dramatic disease.
