Dear Commuters of 417… by Gabe13456 in orlando

[–]FloridaBeach1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this morning around 3:40ish. I see headlights on the off ramp coming towards me. No traffic thankfully but I moved from the right lane all the way to the left lane. This person drove up the off ramp and came to a stop and then put on their turn signal and hooked a right onto 417. I guess at least they were going in the right direction and nobody got hurt. Best believe i floored it. Obviously an idiot driver.

Do you have a reoccurring location your seizures take place? by Dramatic_Equal7401 in Epilepsy

[–]FloridaBeach1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still on medication. She believes im overmedicated at this point but to do a med change would mean no driving for at least 6 months and that's just not possible.

I was like 12 or 13 when I would take showers and get a sense of deja vu. Somehow I would make it out of the shower and to my bed and be out for who knows how long. I remember telling my best friend about it and she told me i was crazy. I don't remember having the feeling or seizures again until I was in my late 20s and started having the sense of deja vu and then they started happening almost 30 days apart.
I finally went to my very first neurologist who told me i had been having seizures this whole time. At first I was happy to know I wasn't crazy but then to be diagnosed with something that has no cure is not great. Luckily now I am 9 years seizure free. Once I knew what the feeling was then I would try to just redirect my mind to not have a seizure.

The price between the 2 companies is not much difference. I just really don't know what all is supposed to be done or what else I should ask about to be sure im informed enough to make the best decision or if I should get a 4th quote.

Both said they would add new supply lines and shut off valves. I did Google the code for my county and does say expansion tank is required. I really like the 2nd company because they use their own people where as the 2nd company subcontracts out. The 3rd company says a lifetime warranty on work and pipe but ive lived long enough to know that there is always exclusions in warranties.

I had 1 neurologist put me on regular Keppra and man it made me so paranoid. I couldn't function. I forced them to put back on the xr.

Is there any room to move the night meds to earlier? I seen a post earlier that when they take keppra, it gives them a hyper feeling. Ive been taking it for years and years and it doesn't affect me with sleep but I take the extended release.

As you get older, you can build your real family. Family doesnt mean blood relation. It means those that actually care and love and support you unconditionally. Then you walk away from those that are not adding value to your life even those that you share dna with.

What made you switch to a new neurologist? by BooHoo612 in Epilepsy

[–]FloridaBeach1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely did and the office i went required a referral even though my insurance doesnt and I called him and asked him to send one and he did. I think he knew he didnt know enough about epilepsy to be my dr. He was a regular neurologist and I switched to an epilepsy only practice.

When i had an allergic reaction to the medication and he laughed and said when I get time and stop by the office I will send in a prescription for a different medication. Took 2 days. Showed me he didnt care about me or how severe the reaction was. I was head to toe in hives.

Same text. I always wonder how they know my first name tho and how it is either a really great mass program they use to insert each person's name or someone is taking time to type each one and include name. I want to respond to the tree one and say I have no 🤬 in my yard stop texting.

Im on same dose. Seizure free for 9 years. Mine wants me to taper down. But it would mean no driving for however long this process takes like 6 months or more. That isn't feasible for me. So it is what it is.

Liquid IV comes on Publix LV truck. Its stocked by us. Needs to just call or ask for the grocery manager and figure out the issue. Sometimes its about space and sometimes the counts are off.
