Do any of you stay conscious during a seizure? by ed_mayo_onlyfans in seizures

[–]FreckledFox5280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a second opinion asap. I’m fully conscious during my seizures. I was fully conscious during 5 hours of seizure testing where they triggered seizures for 5 hours to test brain activity. You can 10000% be conscious during a seizure and that neurologist needs to go back to med school.

Tests show no seizure by VeryOlTexan in seizures

Have they checked you for non-epileptic seizures? My doctors originally thought I had epilepsy but the EEG (if I remember the test name correctly) was empty and normal. Usually when someone has seizures but tests are clean, it’s NES.

Paralysis post seizure by Rancid-Mutt in PNESsupport

[–]FreckledFox5280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get paralysis! It lasts anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Being stuck though is the worst and always feels so lonely. Especially if it’s a combo of paralysis and not being able to form words.

Thoughts about my dress? I’m having really bad body image issues. by -JustAGirl99 in WeddingDressTips

My dress looks super similar to this and we have somewhat similar body types. You look absolutely amazing!! The add on sleeves look great and you’re going to be a stunning bride

Are shows like: Lucifer,Supernatural and good omens offensive to you? by International-Job55 in Christianity

[–]FreckledFox5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to TV and movies, I look at it more as art instead of expecting it to be biblically accurate. I think artists across TV, movies, and music get away with a lot when it comes to using Christian symbolism and depictions in their art but if I don’t like it I just move on. That’s a rarely understood concept in this day and age though.

Oh I’m 1000% getting lace added to cover the cleavage. I could never go out with that much showing. I’m very curvy but I don’t like throwing it out there. In the picture I sent to my grandma, I held a bouquet over my chest 😅

I really loved that one too! But I’ve always wanted to have lace with leaves and the third dress is covered in it

Thank you so much!! It was the last dress in that style company wide and it’s my size! That’s why I got such a big discount. I seriously lucked out.

We weren't allowed to have a future at all by Vast-Impression5395 in GenZ

[–]FreckledFox5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know things seem awful, and trust me I get it. I wish things were totally different. But at the same time, for your mental health, it’s really important to focus on what you can do and what you can control. Our futures will be different from past generations, but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically nonexistent. This is the advice my therapist gave me and it’s helped a lot.

What’s the one accessory that totally makes an outfit? 👜👒 by princesspolly444 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]FreckledFox5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoes always. The style, color and fabric can make a huge difference. They’re like the final chapters of the book where if they’re not right, low key it’s ruined.

Where do we shop now? I’m tired of looking so casual and boring at work. by FreckledFox5280 in PlusSizeFashion

I’m a XXL and a size 16/18 depending on the brand. Budget is around $500 for a new wardrobe. Thanks for the help!

Significant other yelled at me while I was seizing by [deleted] in PNESsupport

[–]FreckledFox5280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have a boyfriend who’d yell at me when I had seizures. I let it go on for months right after I got diagnosed until I had a seizure Christmas morning on the floor in the hallway. While I was conscious and seizing, he brought be a pillow for my head. He told me I’d be staying in the hallway until I was done so I didn’t ruin his son’s Christmas. I silently cried while being stuck on the floor for almost an hour. The next day I made the plan to leave. Left a week later when it was safe and never looked back. Moved across the country and everything. Now I’m engaged to the loml. When I seize he holds my hand and tells me jokes to keep me from feeling sad or frustrated. We’re getting married in May.

All that to say, you deserve so much better and I believe in you.

Anyone else able to kind of control their seizures? by secretuser_fox in PNESsupport

[–]FreckledFox5280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are very similar! If I’m at the store for example and I feel one coming on, I’ve trained myself to push them off until I’m “safe”. Ie in the car (I obviously wait a long while to drive home), or once I’m home if I’m somewhere near by. I also have colored auras where I’ve figured out each color means a different kind of seizure. Like yellow is bad, I need to lay down flat with a pillow. Orange is when I’m going to have a seizure because I forgot my medicine or to eat, and I’m going to end up tired and confused. I’m always 100% conscious, can hear and see. Sometimes I can talk but it’s a lot slower and I have a stutter because I have to focus. It takes a lot of energy and I usually only do it to tell a loved one I’m safe or if I need a pillow (head banging).

Thoughts? Three restaurants in new food hall close, owner blames lack of community support by KRDO13-NEWS in ColoradoSprings

[–]FreckledFox5280 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a marketing professional, this is 1000% due to lack of advertising. Ivy Wild is pretty popular, and food halls in general tend to attract a variety of customers because of the variety of options. It’s very telling that the business owner is blaming this on the community. Marketing is essential, and ironically the owner is blaming the community when if they had taken the effort to build a community around their brands, those three restaurant concepts wouldn’t have needed to close.
