During the next few posts I will be discussing some safety measures you can take while dealing with epilepsy. Safety should be a priority if you are an epileptic and by being prepared with safety measures you will increase your probability of recovering from the effects of the seizure as well as decrease your chances of being harmed during the occurrance of a seizure.
One of the most important things we can do to ensure our safety is to notify those we are around and explain our situation. This becomes crucial because they know how to respond once a seizure happens.
Safety and Epilepsy at Work
Because I am an individual who is determined and committed to having a successful and fulfilling life because that is what I believe God chooses for us to have life.
While at work, it is recommended to continually utilize elevators instead of the stairs. This provides a safer environment for you in the case of a seizure. In addition, if you must use the stairs, only climb to heights that would not cause injury if you fell. You may also ensure the staircases you use have landings between floors where you can pause and have a place which will prevent you from falling down too many stairs
Again, if seizures are frequent it is important you tell your co-workers and supervisors in order for them to be aware and be able to ensure your safety to the best of their ability before, during and after a seizure.
Trust me, I know how hard it is to admit to someone you are limited and struggling with epilepsy. However, in order to have the quality of life God has intended for you to have. Your limitations do not have to be the barrier to your success and a fulfilled life.
