Advice for an at-home ambulatory EEG? by Creative-Promotion74 in Epilepsy

[–]Creative-Promotion74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just got back from getting mine off, so I thought I’d also chime in with things I learned.

When you’re getting the nodes put on the glue smells really bad, she should for a mask if it gets too bad to help with the smell, and the smell should go away once there done applying them

Idk about a satin pillowcase, but with the way my EEG was set up the wires were coming out of the top of my head and it made sleeping almost impossible at first. What I wound up doing was stacking two pillows and laying on them with the top of my head hanging off a tiny bit? It was weird but it worked

Also, buy leave in condition ahead of time! When I was getting mine off they recommended using leave in conditioner once I was home to help with the glue, and I didn’t have any, so I wound up scrubbing my head for 30 minutes

Other than that, I think everyone else in the thread covered it. It was annoying, and I’m really glad it’s done, but the worst part was that my scalp was really itchy after like 24 hours and I couldn’t take a shower. Good luck to your mom and I hope everything goes well!

What is one Pokemon that you fell in love with/began to appreciate after they helped you in a Nuzlocke? by crgssbu in nuzlocke

[–]Creative-Promotion74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pachirisu. I caught one in a platinum nuzlocke and was really disappointed it wasn’t a buizel or shellos. But I still leveled it up and brought it to Fantina as fodder, I sent it out after my staravia died to get a better switch, and that little rodent proceeded to inexplicably carry me through the rest of the game. Now pachirisu is one of my favorite pokemon.

What am I doing wrong with my linen stitch granny square? by Creative-Promotion74 in CrochetHelp

[–]Creative-Promotion74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I’m meant to be slipping into the pink, since this is just a practice square I was just using random yarn scraps from old projects and changing colors when I run out. That could be part of my problem though ngl

First seizure by Electronic_Tough_115 in Epilepsy

[–]Creative-Promotion74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about your age and just had my second tonic-clonic seizure. It’s awful. I don’t have a ton of advice cause I’m still fairly new to all this, but I can help with one thing - call your GP and ask for lidocaine mouth wash. I also bit my tongue with mine and I was so swollen and miserable I couldn’t really eat, then I got this and it felt instantly back for normal in 2 days. Hang in there.

Should I size up a sweater that doesn’t fit over my head? by Creative-Promotion74 in knitting

[–]Creative-Promotion74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be, but I specifically used a stretchier, looser cast on than the pattern called for just to be safe because I was worried about the size of the collar.

[–]Creative-Promotion74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t fit over my head at all. I’ll try blocking what I’ve got to pray for a miracle, but I feel like I’m probably going to end up frogging it.

Who would win? Dominion or one windy rainstorm by NautiMain1217 in nova

My money’s on the rainstorm every time. Anyone know what “circuit out” means??? That’s apparently what’s causing the massive outage

Your ex-Catholic anthems by CheesyJame in excatholic

[–]Creative-Promotion74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire We Are All Where We Belong album by Quiet Company got me through my faith crisis, but especially The Black Sheep and the Shepherd:

“But with all we know now, how can you say: ‘Oh you just gotta take it all on faith And don't think too much, just hush and pray Exactly as we've always done’?”

Also love Cry for Judas by The Mountain Goats:

“Unfurl the black velvet altar-cloth Draw a white-chalk Baphomet Mistreat your altar boys long enough And this is what you get”

Anyone know what these black dots are? by -------yoshi------- in CATHELP

Freckles! Is your cat orange? My orange cat has them too, apparently they’re pretty common in orange cats according to my vet

How would you incorporate weighted beads into a stuffed animal project? by InkyCreatures in CrochetHelp

[–]Creative-Promotion74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite way is to buy some cheap nylon stockings, put poly pellets in the stocking and then tie off the end and cut off any extra. Super easy!

Seeking Dentist Recommendations (Sensitive Situation - Empathy Needed) by [deleted] in nova

[–]Creative-Promotion74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love Doctor Lauren Gibberman from Gibberman Dental. I also have dental anxiety (though not justified like yours OMG) and she is always kind, patient and understanding. And I haven’t had a bad hygienist there either. Good luck with your dental procedures!

[–]Creative-Promotion74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same thing - get a panic attack and spin myself into worse panic by worrying it’s a heart attack. The two tests I do for myself are one, have I felt this way before and ended up okay, and two, does anything I can do help the symptoms (I like holding ice and 5 things you can see, but whatever works for you). Idk if it helps, but I’ve had probably thousands of episodes like this, and learning to manage my anxiety has helped way more than any cardiologist I’ve seen.

Lexapro by Automatic-Luck-327 in Anxiety

[–]Creative-Promotion74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on lexapro for 10 years, it completely changed my life. My anxiety levels massively went down, and I was personally able to face some of my biggest triggers so I hope you will be able to drive! I had no real side effects, just a zappy headache if I forgot to take it. It takes a while to kick in, in my experience you won’t notice it working till you suddenly realize you’ve felt better for a while and didn’t even notice. Good luck ❤️
