A Mind Unraveled by Kurt Eichenwald Pdf

The compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy—how, through personal resilience and the support of loved ones, he overcame medical incompetence and institutional discrimination to achieve once unthinkable success. With a new afterword • “REMARKABLE . . . inspirational in the true sense of the word.”—The New York Times Book Review This is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment, Kurt Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him. Ultimately, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story, one that chronicles how Eichenwald, faced often with his own mortality, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Praise for A Mind Unraveled “An intimate journey . . . bravely illuminating the trials of living inside a body always poised to betray itself.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Poignant and infuriating . . . merges elements of medical drama, anti-discrimination fable, and coming-of-age memoir.”—The New Yorker “One of the best thrillers I’ve read in years, yet there are no detectives, no corpses, no guns or knives.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Terrific . . . Eichenwald’s narrative is a suspenseful medical thriller about a condition that makes everyday life a mine field, a fierce indictment of a callous medical establishment, and an against-the-odds recovery saga.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Riveting . . . Eichenwald has created a universal tale of resilience wrapped in a primal scream against the far-too-savage world."—Booklist (starred review) “An extraordinary book.”—Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Dance of Anger

Living with Epilepsy by Mel Riebe Jr. Pdf

I don’t know why people are afraid of people who have epilepsy. It’s just a condition. It’s not something you can catch; it is not contagious. Epilepsy has to do with the brain. Like me, I was born perfectly normal. However, I had one of my blood vessels on the left side of my brain bust. That is why I have seizures for the rest of my life. Epilepsy is not a bad word. It is only a condition. Doctors are doing more research on it so they can try out new medication that may control the seizures much better. Maybe one day, they will find a stronger medication for epilepsy. I will do everything in my power to make sure that people with epilepsy will have a better life. Maybe one day, that would be cool. Maybe my life is not perfect. People think I can’t do anything, but they should think again. I can do anything when I put my mind to it. I can do it.

Epilepsy in Our View by Steven C. Schachter Pdf

In the last 5 years, approximately 2.7 million people have been treated for epilepsy and between 0.5%-2% of people will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. Up to 5% of the worldwide population may have a single seizure in their lifetime. It is further estimated that 60 million people in the world have had at least one epileptic seizure in their lifetime. Most shockingly is that between 70-80,000 people each year in the US alone are diagnosed with epilepsy. Because of these figures, and Dr. Schachter's roll as Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Dr. Schachter sought to create a series of books written from the viewpoint of people with epilepsy. This volume, Epilepsy in our View, presents accounts of seizures from the perspective of family, friends, co-workers, care-givers, and physicians of people with epilepsy.

In Our Words by Markus Reuber,Gregg Rawlings,Steven C. Schachter Pdf

Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES) can cause blackouts, collapses, involuntary movements, loss of memory and have major impact on quality of life. Whereas epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, PNES are psychological-based responses to triggers inside or outside the body that are perceived as threatening by the person affected. PNES are poorly understood by the medical community. It is common for doctors to struggle to explain this diagnosis, which can leave their patients frustrated and confused. Often people are told that their PNES are caused by "stress" and sent away with no further support or advice. It is no wonder that those affected feel isolated, abandoned and hopeless about living with the condition. In Our Words: Personal Accounts of Living with Non-Epileptic Seizures shows those diagnosed with PNES that they are not alone, and how others have courageously managed to come to terms with their seizures. These heartfelt personal accounts will also allow family, friends, healthcare providers and researchers to gain more understanding of the condition and work to provide a better quality of life to those living with PNES.

Epilepsy Across the Spectrum by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Sciences Policy,Committee on the Public Health Dimensions of the Epilepsies Pdf

Although epilepsy is one of the nation's most common neurological disorders, public understanding of it is limited. Many people do not know the causes of epilepsy or what they should do if they see someone having a seizure. Epilepsy is a complex spectrum of disorders that affects an estimated 2.2 million Americans in a variety of ways, and is characterized by unpredictable seizures that differ in type, cause, and severity. Yet living with epilepsy is about much more than just seizures; the disorder is often defined in practical terms, such as challenges in school, uncertainties about social situations and employment, limitations on driving, and questions about independent living. The Institute of Medicine was asked to examine the public health dimensions of the epilepsies, focusing on public health surveillance and data collection; population and public health research; health policy, health care, and human services; and education for people with the disorder and their families, health care providers, and the public. In Epilepsy Across the Spectrum, the IOM makes recommendations ranging from the expansion of collaborative epilepsy surveillance efforts, to the coordination of public awareness efforts, to the engagement of people with epilepsy and their families in education, dissemination, and advocacy for improved care and services. Taking action across multiple dimensions will improve the lives of people with epilepsy and their families. The realistic, feasible, and action-oriented recommendations in this report can help enable short- and long-term improvements for people with epilepsy. For all epilepsy organizations and advocates, local, state, and federal agencies, researchers, health care professionals, people with epilepsy, as well as the public, Epilepsy Across the Spectrum is an essential resource.

Strong and Free by Lyndsay Doyle Pdf

Adolescent girls are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate, despite having more opportunities than ever before. More than that, mainstream media coverage of women’s sports has declined over the last twenty years, and currently accounts for less than 5 percent of the total. Is it possible that there’s a connection between these dispiriting statistics? Is it possible that young girls would have a better chance of staying in sports if they could actually see the older equivalent of themselves more often? With Strong and Free, Lyndsay Doyle believes we have the power to change their lifestyle trajectories through photographs. Here is inspiration for Canadian female athletes, coaches, and officials in one collection, assembled in the hopes of expanding media coverage of female sports and encouraging young girls to enroll and stay involved. These photographs capture sporting women in all walks of life—all ages, all body types, from beginners to Olympians. These women share common traits that often transcend sports: determination, perseverance, dedication, patience, and responsibility for showing young girls how sport can benefit them. Strong and Free gives these incredible role models for young girls a powerful voice. Our girls are watching us. Our nieces, cousins, sisters, neighbours, daughters. If we don’t show them what they’re capable of, who will?

It’s about hope, healing, and positive transformation, no matter what obstacles or challenges you are facing.

She dove into unknown, shallow waters, hit rock bottom, and was instantly paralyzed. Already living with epilepsy, having low self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts, she was hit with yet another life altering diagnosis—now she was a quadriplegic. This was her first point of passage when she had the choice to live or die. Being advised to prepare to live the rest of her life as a quadriplegic, Angela proved, with unstoppable determination, how to defy the odds and transform the impossible to “I’M POSSIBLE!” The diving accident was the beginning of Angela’s miraculous journey of healing to wholeness and set the foundation for the rest of her life. Now it’s YOUR time to own YOUR power, learn how to defy the odds, and turn the impossible into I’m possible, to really live a life you call your own!

Releasing an Imprisoned Spirit by Karen Glumm Pdf

As a graduate student, Karen Glumm experienced two grand mal seizures and was placed on medication. After months of reading, Glumm realized she had experienced partial seizures as a child, but had accepted them as a regular fact of life and not a serious medical condition. This acceptance stemmed from her alcoholic parent's coping strategy of hiding deficiencies and deviations from normal behavior in order to continue drinking. Glumm mirrored this in her behavior regarding the new and confusing seizures she experienced. In this medical biography, Glumm relates her erratic behavior as an undiagnosed epileptic, a gradual acceptance of the condition, and her hard-won success as a college student and Ph.D. with humor and honesty.
