Today is Epilepsy Awareness Day—a day to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of people around the world, yet is still so often misunderstood.

Epilepsy is more than just seizures. It’s the quiet battles, the unpredictability, the strength it takes to keep going even on the hardest days. For many, it means facing challenges that others don’t always see—but that doesn’t make them any less real.

Today is about education, compassion, and breaking the stigma. It’s about listening to those who live with epilepsy, supporting them, and creating a world where they feel safe, understood, and empowered. No one should feel alone in their journey.

Let’s use today as a reminder to be kinder, more patient, and more aware. A little understanding can go a long way—and together, we can build a community that uplifts and supports everyone living with epilepsy.

Wear purple, start conversations, and stand in solidarity.

High Blood Pressure: Know the Signs

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the “silent condition” — because most people don’t notice any symptoms.

⚠️ Possible symptoms (in rare cases):

Headaches
Blurred vision
Dizziness
Nosebleeds

👉 But the truth is, many people feel completely fine — which is why it’s so important to check regularly.

⏱️ When should you check your blood pressure?
✔️ If you’re over 40
✔️ If you have a family history of high blood pressure
✔️ If you’re overweight or smoke
✔️ If you haven’t had a check in the last 5 years
✔️ Anytime you’re concerned about your health

💊 Regular checks can help prevent serious conditions like heart disease and stroke.

Pop into Manton Pharmacy for a quick blood pressure check or speak to our team for advice.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet it’s still so often misunderstood, dismissed, or diagnosed far too late. It’s more than “just bad period pain” — it’s a chronic condition that can impact every part of someone’s life: work, relationships, mental health, and fertility.

Common symptoms can include:
• Severe period pain that interferes with daily life
• Chronic pelvic or lower back pain
• Pain during or after s*x
• Heavy or irregular periods
• Bloating (“endo belly”)
• Fatigue
• Difficulty getting pregnant

Advice & support:
• Don’t ignore your pain — if something feels wrong, speak to a healthcare professional
• Keep a symptom diary to help track patterns and advocate for yourself
• Seek a second opinion if you feel dismissed — your experience matters
• Connect with support groups or others who understand what you’re going through
• Prioritise rest and self-care — managing a chronic condition is exhausting

If you live with endometriosis: We see you. Your pain is real, and you deserve to be heard and supported.

If you don’t: take a moment to learn, listen, and stand alongside those who do. Even small conversations can make a big difference.

Let’s break the silence, challenge the stigma, and support each other

Happy Hydration & Nutrition Week!
This week has been all about showing our bodies some love with simple, powerful habits. Drinking enough water keeps us energized, focused, and glowing, while eating nourishing foods fuels our bodies from the inside out.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about small, consistent choices: swapping sugary drinks for water, adding more fruits and veggies to your plate, and listening to what your body truly needs. Every sip and every bite counts toward feeling stronger, healthier, and more vibrant.

Let’s celebrate this week together by committing to better hydration and mindful nutrition. Share your favorite healthy meals or your daily water goals, and let’s inspire each other to make wellness a lifestyle, not just a challenge!
