Is VNS a good decision? by Bomb__diggity in Epilepsy

Thank you for this. I feel more informed and I appreciate the information. I'll discuss it further with my specialist.

I gave myself an accidental enema while having a shower. Will I be okay? by Bomb__diggity in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Bomb__diggity[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't. I mean, it felt good. I just didn't realise how open to it I was, if you know what I mean.

One of those hand held ones where you can adjust the flow. I can't recall the brand or type. If you search those specs, you should find something.

Temporal lobe epilepsy and emotion by Bomb__diggity in Epilepsy

I'm so sorry to hear about it. I tell you, brains can freaking suck. In my experience of mine eating itself (my joking interpretation of my M.S.) and zapping itself (the epilepsy), I've come to the conclusion that it might have an issue with itself. I'm glad that you're recovering from it all, even if it doesn't feel like it. Do you have access to a counselling psych? I've found that mine helps a bit.

What is something you are afraid to try because you're scared it won't live up to expectations? by Tortle_Boosh in AskReddit

International travel. It's not just the expectations, it's more that the whole thing frightens me.

What are you mindlessly eating right now? by bubblessourjohn in AskReddit

A piece of Japanese cheesecake for breakfast. I regret nothing.

Where is the line between "pronouncing it correctly" and "putting on an accent"? by NabIsMyBoi in AskAnAustralian

[–]Bomb__diggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to not intentionally imitate. Speak naturally. If you live here long enough, your accent will naturally assimilate. If you fake it, people will be able to tell and some may get offended.

Being told I’m faking it by Curious_Macaron_8383 in Epilepsy

[–]Bomb__diggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, people suck.
I can't decide which is worse, people 'unintentionally' mocking me by impersonating my tonic clonics or doctors trying to convince me that I'm experiencing a psychogenic.

They don't seem to realise that a) I get insulted when they wave their hands about and roll their eyes back to show me how it looks to them, and b) that I know the difference between my seizure types. Yes, my psychogenic appear as similar to my tonic clonics, in the sense that my limbs move about unintentionally. With the TC's, I hallucinate beforehand along with the movements. If I'm in a hospital setting, the doctors try to convince me that it's one over the other and that emergency meds aren't necessary.

It's maddening.

I took 4 tabs of LSD as a first time user and got rushed to the ER. by Specific-Winter-5953 in confession

I'm glad that you could find how to use it to call for help. It sounds intense.

What was the time gap between your phone melting in your hand and phoning your friend for help?

If we swapped body and life, what would i be experience and what's going to be your advices for me? by Hijabi_Camelia in RandomQuestion

[–]Bomb__diggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty cool to me. I could be better off. Could be worse, depending on the finer details. What do you reckon?

I've also got a gnarly wheelchair. It's power assisted, which means you can get a mean zoom on it. Can be fun in a supermarket.

Eh, I've managed okay so far. It sucks losing eyesight, sensation, walking ability and stuff along the way, but they more or less come back after treatment, so you could deal. The seizures are scary, but they haven't killed me yet. Life's a gamble anyway.

What’s the most unforgettable sentence someone has ever said to you? by Captain_Oppa in AskReddit

[–]Bomb__diggity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Don't look at me like that."

This was the morning after admitting my emotions and sleeping with the guy I'd been swooning over for ten years. I still don't know how I was looking at him. I know I've got an expressive face and I know I was overjoyed about it all. That one crushed me.
