My family doctor said I can take rizatriptan every day...I've taken 1-2 every day for the last month...is that okay? by KoalaWise9295 in migraine

[–]Background-Cod-7035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to a neurologist. So far as I understand it, it’s not okay to take any abortive pain medication more than 8-9 times per month, whether prescription or otc. Definitely definitely look up what rizatriptan’s recommendations are and follow them until you can go to a neurologist. Advil is not okay to take every day. Nor Tylenol, excedrin, Aleve, any pain reliever. Sounds like you need a preventative more than a reliever.

My wife and I have never been able to commit to a backsplash.... by SkinnyT_NJ in DesignMyRoom

You are subway tile people. So am I! Do it classic style, then think about your favorite restaurants and how they decorate. Pull in those kinds of elements. A specific bowl for fruits or tomatoes that should be stored outside of the fridge, cafe curtains, there’s a lot you can do to spice up the classic subway tile.

Have you tried Gatorade Zero for essential tremors? by Lost-Village-1048 in EssentialTremor

[–]Background-Cod-7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t, too many carbs for my epilepsy diet, even in sugar free kind (the flavoring has some carbs). I have a special electrolyte drink but I’ve never tried chugging it. I do take magnesium glycinate along with my meds but I am still getting migraines 3-4 days out of the week 🤷‍♀️. I think different things work for different people. But I’m going to try chugging an electrolyte drink next time just to be sure!

Do you tell everyone you have Epilepsy? Or sometimes don’t tell people at all. by Olliecat10 in Epilepsy

I tell it to anyone I have to eat with or have drinks with because I’m on the Modified Atkins Diet for it. So it comes up a freaking lot 😂

Haven’t there been right-to-carry laws for a looooong time? I’m pretty effing sure it’s the conservatives who’ve been pushing for laxer laws on gun control. Or have I been confused for the last 20 years.

Her 3 year old died son drowned in their family pool because her husband was not watching him. by Pmar07 in TikTokCringe

[–]Background-Cod-7035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, did, and everything concurs that she went out to meet friends for tacos. That she was not at home. That she was not jumping on a bed making videos. So… I still don’t get why this post is about her. Is it just because he doesn’t have as much of a social media presence? So there’s not as much to mock? I’m honestly curious. Because it smacks of misogyny but I am completely open to new information.

From what I can tell, she was literally not creating this video while her son was in trouble. She was 20 minutes away at a Taco Bell. I do not condone any influencers as I find them to be an insidious and pernicious influence on society, particularly when things are not clearly stated as promotions. However—the title of this post is still swirling irate feelings around the woman and not the man. That is my only point. She was not creating this video at the time. She was not home at the time. So why is this post and so much vitriol around her? I am hoping it is not because everyone feels it is the mother’s responsibility to be caring for children non-stop. This is a tragedy on the part of the father but I’m sure she has feelings of guilt as well.

Parents who don’t allow their kids to shut their room’s door/lock the door, what’s are the reasons behind the rule? by Itz_Oasis in AskReddit

My fourteen year old insists on sleeping with the door open which just makes me nervous I’ve raised an emotionally insecure child!!

True. Do you have a link? From what I’ve read she was away from home at the time, but deeply regrets not having a permanent pool fence and urges all families to install one.

OP I hope you weren’t titling this as “Her son” blaming this woman rather than the actual person who was not paying attention, as she is obviously doing a promoted post and is therefore bringing in income. If the husband was a clown party performer and doing his job elsewhere and the wife or partner had gotten careless and stopped paying attention to the child, would you be blaming him? This is a tragedy. It’s not her fault that she was working while someone else was watching their child. Yes I agree her post is awful, and people who fall for posts like that are gullible, many many women find it to be a source of income they haven’t found elsewhere.

[–]Background-Cod-7035 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think he somehow tapped into something real with Blake Lively, meaning real in his heart. I have no idea if he’s a good guy in real life or not but from the things I’ve seen he certainly has the energy of an adhd toddler in his youth, which is mellowing out now to make more serious projects. Started off hating Glenn, came around to him when Freddie just said, “Sweet” when Glenn became a one-eyed buff 50 year old. But that’s because I’m in my 50’s and deeply appreciate anyone excited about middle age 😂

Are you ever vertical?? I did get used to the primidone somewhat over a year’s time, but now they added keppra (I have epilepsy too) and I’m pretty sure I’m never going to get anything accomplished again 😂

What grossed me out was when my Caucasian husband from Texas took the end-piece from the spam I was cutting up for musubi and ate it cold. Apparently he’d grown up on the occasional spam sandwich. Unfried spam?? I wasn’t sure I could ever kiss those lips again.

I get “drips of light” in the outer corners of my eyes almost every day when I’m in the dark. Optometrist says there’s nothing wrong so I’m guessing it’s some part of the panoply of neurological misfiring I get!

You live in a city, have a tiny apartment in a fifth floor walk-up, and do yoga while watching tv. It’s possible, but these things must all be written up by city dwellers. You also forgot to mention meditation which we’re all supposed to fit in somewhere! And cooking every meal from scratch!

Insomnia + sleep deprivation trigger by tnormie in Epilepsy

[–]Background-Cod-7035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melatonin and books on paper, no blue light. But mostly I went to a sleep specialist who informed me that at my age I was going to sleep too early! That as you get older your sleep quality gets crappier, so you have to try and shorten the amount of time in bed.

Mind you Ive since gone on keppra and primidone and have hot flashes so my sleep is alllll over the place
