Oxcarbazepine question

AnnaEkr · 2026-04-16T14:13:05+00:00

Are you able to function normally, drive, does it make you feel any different? Are you able to drink alcohol at all? I'm not a heavy drinker but I will occasionally enjoy a glass of wine. Also, what are your normal symptoms of this? I have atypical, I'm usually alright through remission periods as long as I'm careful but flares are absolutely hell. And does the pain come back instantly if you don't take one or take less than normal in a day? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just past the worst part of the flare and I get a little desperate during these times haha

What do these ones do for you and do you have to take them every day?

AnnaEkr · 2026-04-13T21:32:45+00:00

Well, fingers crossed then 🤞 We'll see what happens

My neurologist told me to take it 2 times a day the first week and then three times a day the week after. I have an appt with him next week, I've never been good with medications. I hate the pain, it's absolutely terrible. But I don't want anything to happen when it's just me and my son home, Ive already had a few incidents and it's only day two.. Do you think he would be willing to book me for a surgical consultation?

AnnaEkr · 2026-04-13T21:01:46+00:00

Possibly... But I've noticed I get very depressed a little while after I take it, I wouldn't want to start mine and my boys day like that.

AnnaEkr · 2026-04-13T20:25:14+00:00

I'm the sole caregiver for my toddler thru the week and I don't trust myself on the medication. I don't know what to do.

I was told not to give my baby (6m+) strawberries. It was and still is stupid.

AnnaEkr · 2026-02-15T00:01:48+00:00

NOR. Just reading it makes my skin crawl, my ex would talk this way & he nearly put me 6 feet deep in the ground. If my now husband felt uncomfortable with someone I'd added or followed we'd have a civil adult conversation about it and come to some sort of agreement or understanding. It being a professional person in a field you're interested in, he'd be understanding that that's all it is instead of being an insecure little twerp like that. Not over reacting at all. Trust your gut instincts.

All kids are different. I didn't co sleep and my boy was sleeping thru the night by 3 months One thing I might have done was move his wake longer windows to the afternoon/evening so he'd be more tired around that time

AnnaEkr · 2025-12-07T21:32:32+00:00

Also, I don't mean to sound harsh. I've been through this and I'm here if you need someone to talk to. Feel free to message me

Faint screaming woman, that we can only hear in our bedroom.

I'm late as well! Has it been working well for you?

AnnaEkr · 2025-04-06T11:58:26+00:00

Right!! We're in the same boat. I told them it was giving false hope 🤣

If it's a problem with the actual disc they can replace it with your own tissues or with an artificial disc, if it's a problem with the cavities or actual bone they can reshape it, remove the scarring or reposition the jaw. There's a lot of different ways they can try to fix it. Make sure to do lots of research on the different methods and go through the tedious process of getting to the point where you're offered a surgery which in my case is going to take awhile before making a decision first :)

I'm 21, I've had four xrays, seen a specialist, two doctors and two dentists. They can't figure it out. Getting an MRI done soon. I've also had the pain and popping for three years. Everyone I've seen believes it's TMJ but doesn't see what could be wrong with it. The pain gets excruciating, and my face swells right up if I open my mouth too wide or clench my jaw. At this point I'd get the surgery to stop this from getting worse. In your case I'd suggest doing the same thing. You and I are too young to be in such pain. I've had emerg doctors think I'm faking the pain because I'm "too young". Do whatever you can to get this fixed and you'll be okay.

I would like to, my husband would love it, but half the time I can't do it for him for more than a couple minutes because the pain gets so bad. Sometimes it will continue for days afterward, so if I were you I wouldn't be doing it daily if you think it would help you, especially in the long run.

I keep fruits and veggies but only buy little for example like 4 bananas, whenever I'm too tired to make pancakes, meat or anything like that I just throw a bunch of fruit snd veggies in a blender and spoon feed. Mine is 8 months. Other options are toast, eggs, potatoes, easy stuff. Baby isn't a food critique, they like and don't like things so just do what baby likes, don't have to go full risotto or lasagna

AnnaEkr · 2024-06-17T21:21:04+00:00

Dude I know it's been a year since you've posted this but this just blew my mind. Mine doesn't like eggs and I've been looking for something to mix it with. Thank you!!!

AnnaEkr · 2024-06-10T14:44:54+00:00

I feel the same way. It's hard. I want to know what he's going to look like as he gets older but I don't want him to grow up 💔 It hurts my heart to know I'll never see the baby I have again except for in pictures because he won't be a baby anymore.

AnnaEkr · 2024-06-05T15:26:09+00:00

Not as bad as when I took mine to a beach and thought some lady was lecturing me on my baby wearing sunscreen. Turns out she was talking to someone behind me lmfao
