Let’s clear up some common myths about epilepsy, and share the real facts.

❌ Myth: People with epilepsy can’t live a normal life.
✅ Fact: With the right treatment and support, many people with epilepsy live full, active lives.

❌ Myth: During a seizure, a person will always fall to the floor and start jerking.
✅ Fact: There are around 40 different types of seizures. Some people remain aware, and not all involve falling or jerking.

❌ Myth: Most people with epilepsy are affected by flashing lights.
✅ Fact: Only about 5 in every 100 people with epilepsy have photosensitive epilepsy, where seizures are triggered by flashing or flickering lights.

The more we share the truth, the more we can replace fear with understanding.
Gadewch i ni egluro rhai mythau cyffredin am epilepsi, a rhannu'r ffeithiau go iawn.

❌ Myth: Ni all pobl ag epilepsi fyw bywyd normal.
✅ Ffaith: Gyda'r driniaeth a'r gefnogaeth gywir, mae llawer o bobl ag epilepsi yn byw bywydau llawn, actif.

❌ Myth: Yn ystod trawiad, bydd person bob amser yn disgyn i'r llawr ac yn cael symudiadau rhythmig.
✅ Ffaith: Mae tua 40 math gwahanol o drawiadau. Mae rhai pobl yn parhau i fod yn ymwybodol, ac nid yw pob un yn cynnwys disgyn neu symudiadau rhythmig.

❌ Myth: Mae'r rhan fwyaf o bobl ag epilepsi yn cael eu heffeithio gan oleuadau'n fflachio.
✅ Ffaith: Dim ond tua 5 o bob 100 o bobl ag epilepsi sydd ag epilepsi ffotosensitif, lle mae trawiadau'n cael eu sbarduno gan oleuadau'n fflachio neu'n crynu.

Thank you to everyone who visited the Epilepsy Wales stalls this week 💜💛 It was truly lovely meeting so many wonderful people, and your generous donations will make a real difference 🙏

As a small charity with just three members of staff, every single penny genuinely helps us continue providing vital support to local people, we simply couldn’t do it without you 💫

I also want to say a huge thank you to my amazing volunteers, Janene Harper and Alwyn Owen 🌟 I honestly couldn’t do this without your support 🤝

Finally, thanks to Ysbyty Gwynedd and Morrisons , Holyhead for making us feel so welcome 😊

Diolch o galon i bawb a ymwelodd â stondinau Epilepsi Cymru wythnos yma 💜💛 Roedd yn hyfryd iawn cyfarfod cymaint o bobl wych, ac mae eich rhoddion caredig yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol 🙏

Fel elusen fach gyda dim ond tri aelod o staff, mae pob ceiniog yn helpu’n wirioneddol i ni barhau i ddarparu cefnogaeth hanfodol i bobl leol, ni allem wneud hyn heb y chi 💫

Hoffwn hefyd ddweud diolch enfawr i’m gwirfoddolwyr anhygoel, Janene Harper ac Alwyn Owen 🌟 Ni allwn wneud hyn heb eich cefnogaeth 🤝

Yn olaf, diolch i Ysbyty Gwynedd ac Morrisons, Caergybi am ein gwneud ni deimlo mor groesawgar 😊

For many people with epilepsy, life is a balance of ups and downs.

💜 On good days, seizures may be few or not happen at all. Energy is higher, confidence grows, and there’s more freedom to enjoy work, school, friends, and family.
💜 On harder days, seizures can be more frequent or severe. Exhaustion, confusion, or injury may follow, plans can change suddenly, and extra support becomes essential.

Living with epilepsy is unpredictable, and that uncertainty can be one of the hardest parts to face.

👉 By raising awareness, we can reduce stigma, increase understanding, and help build a community where people with epilepsy feel supported, whether it’s a good day or a tough one.

I lawer o bobl ag epilepsi, mae bywyd yn gydbwysedd o uchafbwyntiau ac isafbwyntiau.

💜 Ar y dyddiau da, gall ffitiau fod yn brin neu ddim o gwbl. Mae mwy o egni, mae hyder yn tyfu, ac mae mwy o ryddid i fwynhau gwaith, ysgol, ffrindiau a bywyd teuluol.
💜 Ar y dyddiau anodd, gall ffitiau fod yn amlach neu’n fwy difrifol. Gall blinder, dryswch neu anaf ddilyn, gall cynlluniau newid ar yr eiliad olaf, ac mae angen cymorth ychwanegol yn aml.

Mae byw gydag epilepsi yn anrhagweladwy, ac i lawer, dyna un o’r pethau anoddaf i’w wynebu.
👉 Drwy godi ymwybyddiaeth, gallwn leihau stigma, cynyddu dealltwriaeth, a helpu i greu cymuned lle mae pobl ag epilepsi yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu cefnogi, ar y dyddiau da a’r dyddiau anodd.

💜 Raise awareness. Reduce stigma. 💛

Stigma thrives in silence and misunderstanding.
Awareness changes that.

When people understand epilepsy, fear turns into empathy.
Judgement turns into support.
And people feel safer to be themselves, without shame or secrecy.

This Epilepsy Week, start a conversation.
Share the facts.

Listen to lived experiences.
Because awareness doesn’t just inform, it frees people from stigma.

💜 Codi ymwybyddiaeth. Lleihau stigma. 💛
Mae stigma yn ffynnu mewn distawrwydd a chamddealltwriaeth.
Mae ymwybyddiaeth yn newid hynny.

Pan fydd pobl yn deall epilepsi, mae ofn yn troi’n empathi.
Mae beirniadaeth yn troi’n gefnogaeth.
Ac mae pobl yn teimlo’n fwy diogel i fod yn nhw eu hunain, heb gywilydd na chuddio.

Yn ystod Wythnos Epilepsi, dechreuwch sgwrs.
Rhannwch y ffeithiau.

Gwrandewch ar brofiadau bywyd.
Oherwydd nid yw ymwybyddiaeth yn addysgu yn unig, mae’n rhyddhau pobl rhag stigma. 💜
