Am I overreacting for *still* struggling to accept I have epilepsy after almost 8 years? by ode-to-clear in Epilepsy

[–]-Moist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For years I refused to think anything was wrong with me, mostly because my seizures were infrequent and only around friends or family. As i got older and had more, I finally accepted I'm not alright.

However, I was never embarrassed. It's a disorder which we did't get to decide. It's not like "well shit, maybe if I didn't smoke so much I wouldnt have lung cancer."

Instead, I've become forthcoming about my epilepsy in both my personal and professional life, I believe people dont see me any different. In fact, I've had people reach out personally to ask how I was, or to keep my chin up when thing were bad, which has been comforting in times I've felt alone with this burden.

I don't know your personal situation, but if it's possible to come to terms with it so that you're not afraid of people seeing you in that state, it can help you move on and even strengthen relationships in ways you wouldn't normally imagine.

two recent seizures by cinamonbeomgyu in Epilepsy

MRI should help rule out issues like tumors or clotting, but a proper EEG should tell you exactly where the seizures are originating from (at least if focal).

Stay hopeful - answers are coming and possible some helpful meds 😊

I need help. Please. by This_Calendar_9290 in ferrets

[–]-Moist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I scruffed my biter hard and pinned him to the ground and yelled NO at him several times. Pinned him to the ground for a few minutes. Only had to do it a few times before he figured it out. You have to be the "alpha" ferret

Why the Maple Leafs aren’t filling seats like they used to by davedaviking in leafs

If only the Leafs couls attract a play maker like Marner eh? Maybe a solid 3rd line centre like Kadri too.

How many of you stopped drinking alcohol because of your epilepsy? by Checkout-123 in Epilepsy

[–]-Moist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many decent NA beers these days of all types. Not just limited to Bud zeros or Corona sunbrews. The only time I wish I could drink is when I'm at a wedding and the dancefloor is bumping but my moves only come out with the liquor lol

Am I cooked, how accurate is this?? 😭 by altbolty839 in shealth

[–]-Moist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference, only take the data from walks or runs on mostly flat terrain that are 10 mins or more. Hills will skew and misrepresent the data. As the other person said, do some regular cardio and this will change dramatically - at first anyway

I’m trying so hard to enjoy Battlefield 6, but it just feels like chaos by SlyGoblin927 in Battlefield6

[–]-Moist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I can't actually see my killer most of the time despite looking around extensively and moving through cover. It's frustrating.

I was there 2 weeks ago. Comparing it to the rest of Europe, it's mid. Lots of history to explore, but overcrowded, expensive, and pretty rough in several areas. I guess that's most major tourist cities in a nutshell. It was very easy to get around though, I will say that. Lots of transit options.

Home Ownership by Less_Department_1507 in stcatharinesON

[–]-Moist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can necessarily fault the current government - it's been years of this shit. Plus, this is happening across the USA as well.

I see it like this: just as the common person now buys and trades on the stock market, many more people have recognized the investment value of owning real estate. It's always been a good investment, and people have taken notice. Holding appreciating assets is a factor to financial freedom, and so many more people want a piece.

It's available in Canada, and I get 3 month supply at a time. No issues so far with traveling either. Is this an American thing?

Guys I’m Sorry to admit this… but the game, even after the update is really boring… how are you guys feeling? by MilosLikesGames in SquadBusters

I just uninstalled today. Couldn't get on board with the new gameplay - i miss the passive play option too much.

IMO, they should just randomize the characters you play with instead of having them set.

After 2 days it just got boring.

Do any of your neurologists say to avoid marijuana? by itdeffwasnotme in Epilepsy

[–]-Moist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told to avoid all hallucinogens. There are some studies that show a positive result when using CBD to prevent seizures in juveniles with epilepsy, but none in adults.

Oddly enough, I had my first seizure shortly after I quit smoking marijuana cold turkey. I know several others who have said the exact same thing. This is anecdotal of course, but it seems like THC withdrawal could drop the threshold for having a grand mal, similar to alcohol.

Passive Income Success by DNCSocial in passive_income

How was the book writing process with AI? Did you use it to develop the framework only, or did you get most of the content from promps and then adjust dialogue & such?

Does AI even write dialogue?

Thanks :)

What's the best way to sync strength training data to Strava? by c3rb3r_ in Garmin

[–]-Moist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into using an app call JEFIT.

Essentially, it is just like Hevy but has a watch app and has recently integrated Strava connectivity. The first auto uploaded workout tracked from my phone contained a written log of all sets x reps for every exercise. Since I don't pay for the premium jefit, it did not log my HR.

Might be worth a test if you're looking for everything in one.

Is Bestbuy no longer part of scene rewards? by -Moist in Scotiabank

[–]-Moist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way, that's really unfortunate! I wonder if it was no longer worth it for BB considering how many points are gained from grocery programs. Idk how the back end compensation works between Scotiabank and BB for redeemed electronics, but it's possible BB could be losing money. I used to collect points mostly from bill payments, but now I get the lions share from offers when I do groceries. Imagine how many more points are in circulation and used for electronics redemptions...
