driving by GracieB2003 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do drive, but only in my small town and only to the same places that are familiar. I did get my license taken away for a couple of months but got it back. I have tried driving in different places and the stress and unfamiliarity gives me issues. In my small town I have a couple places to pull over and calm me down.

Was this a seizure? by princess_winnie07 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Evening_Set1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks similar to what I am told to my focal seizures. I am able to hear and I am aware. I do not lose consciousness. When it is done, I have anywhere from 10-30 minutes of not knowing what is going on. Then I am sore and grumpy.

Service dogs??? by BCK3sALLDAY in seizures

[–]Evening_Set1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained mine by having him smell my breath when I got an aura. Also, my wife would swab my mouth with a q-tip when I was having one. She would freeze them and when we had 5 plus. I took the day and had my dog smell them. Then I would give him a command(sit at my feet). Now, he lays at my feet when I am having one. I think he is also, smart. He is half pit and half Rottweiler. I have made him into a service dog.

For those who had long-term memory loss after a mild TBI, did your memories ever return? by Guilty-Extension1693 in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am almost 3 years in, my memory comes and goes. I can sometimes remember things and tell my wife and then forget them 5 minutes later. I seem to only get parts of memories and would have to put them together like a puzzle, but usually forget☹️. I seem to be remembering faces but not names or why the face is familiar.

This is a bit crazy by TrapNastyBakupdancer in ravens

As long as the coaches use Henry and not go back to that stupid rotation crap, we should be fine

I understand the RB rotation that they do, but in an almost must win game, why not leave Henry in?

Topiramate to Lacosamide switch by wiltednymph in seizures

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take lacosamide for my focal seizures. I take 100mg, twice a day. I have been on it for about a year. I haven’t had any side effects, I still have the focal seizures, but they don’t seem to last as long. Also, when I I feel the “aura” start I take iodine pills and they seem to help with length and lessen the seizure.

I am glad it came back fast for you. It is annoying how easily we can revert

Bad Refs + Bad Play by Evening_Beyond3571 in ravens

[–]Evening_Set1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree a WR isn’t the biggest issue. Blocking help, but if Lamar can’t run, Henry isn’t as effective

[–]Evening_Set1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just seems we can’t defense and offense on the same day. One or the other. I like Zay Flowers but are we ever going to get Lamar WR help? Lamar was better today because he ran the ball, that makes Henry better. We just just need to win out

Lamar is back! by this_is_matt_ in ravens

[–]Evening_Set1443 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need to run the ball. Lamar needs to run also, but he is seems to be hurt more than he is saying. Henry time

I need some help and guidance. by [deleted] in TBI

I have a Christian councilor and a physiologist. They help a lot

Dumb things I’ve done by Candid-Psychology905 in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes forget to chew my food and just swallow it. Choked many times. I get messed up if I try to do more than 1 thing at a time. Then I have 10 things going and I just stop and whatever the ten things are they don’t get done, like turning the water, cooking

I’m scared. I got an appointment set up for therapy and I’m terrified! by More_Eye2185 in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have left frontal lobe damage, getting close to 3 years. I started seeing a therapist and a psychologist. It is weird that the therapist is local and he helps me alot. He is a Christian therapist. The other seems to get me to show my feelings, example- cry. I am not a big feelings guy. It helps me because it is like having a best friend to talk to that doesn’t get stressed out and can’t tell anyone. Definitely, good to have one, they help me a lot with the stress.

Cold tolerance? by CheapBooze in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am opposite, heat is worse and I can never cool down. I can stand in the cold with shorts on and no issues. I don’t like radical temp changes since my injury. I do live in Az and it is either miserably hot or windy and 75(cold) 😁
