- use something like a jacket as a pillow to support the head - protect the person from curious gazers. - be aware about SUDEP (see https://sudep.de, german, autotranslation is fine), sudden death in epilepsy - know first aid and reanimation measures - there's often a sleepy phase after the seizure. It can take a while until the person returns conscious again. SUDEP risk is high during that time.
@lea@skye Thank you! It's really important to be informed about this. Too few know how much people with epilepsy are out there. Sudep is very unknown to most people.
