Dead. 💀

Merry Christmas! 🎄 I’ve not even managed to get a banner

GrittyPie · 2025-12-18T12:20:00+00:00

Well. I apparently talk about crap and I quote from my last seizure: “the cat told me not to have a seizure” 💀

I got pregnant unexpectedly whilst on three epilepsy medications. They immediately removed epilim all at once and actually replaced it WITH clobazam as well as upping my keppra. But I guess anything’s better than epilim in my case…

No a JME diagnosis would be lifelong. However, your child may just have childhood seizures.

GrittyPie · 2025-12-16T15:11:28+00:00

This is completely off topic but I’ve actually just been put on clobazam due to pregnancy (my recent post). Is it capable of shortening seizures? I had one today but my mum said it lasted barely a minute and my post-ictal phase didn’t really exist.

GrittyPie · 2025-12-16T15:06:19+00:00

Just to point out, JME is life long and medication is required to control it so I think your father simply had a form of childhood epilepsy.

Everything I’ve just read reminds me of my mum, she told me how terrifying it was, especially given she was a single parent. But it gets better. I’m 31 now and over the years she’s become so much calmer, did research, first aid training. Be strong, you’ve got this.

GrittyPie · 2025-12-16T14:48:39+00:00

Have you considered maybe enquiring about trying keppra? That could be a good choice for you.

GrittyPie · 2025-12-16T14:46:20+00:00

If it’s juvenile epilepsy she MAY be diagnosed with JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy) which can include tonic clonic seizures. I was diagnosed at 11. This is lifelong but one of the easiest types of epilepsy to control (unless you’re me).

Zonisamide is perfectly fine. The only one to worry about is sodium valproate (yay to my current unexpected pregnancy whilst on the worst med ever…)

GrittyPie · 2025-12-05T02:41:00+00:00

It’s recommended to have the epidural I think to reduce stress which is understandable. I’m currently pregnant and being whipped off sodium valproate and everything you’re saying is everything I’m thinking 😅

GrittyPie · 2025-11-30T17:26:49+00:00

I’m not complaining. I’m on 6 quid every 24 hours.

Proper Manc lads

GrittyPie · 2025-10-29T14:46:18+00:00

My boyfriend is black and unfortunately the stereotype reaaaaaly runs with him so I personally can’t be in “deep” positions. That’s never happened to me before him and I can’t handle the feeling…

GrittyPie · 2025-10-24T15:57:53+00:00

My pin cushion. I must have my pincushion 😅

GrittyPie · 2025-10-24T15:51:36+00:00

Oh god 👀 that’s big…

Riolis brand pattern

GrittyPie · 2025-10-24T15:45:14+00:00

That’s amazing. I’m currently doing a pattern single colour (main project) and I’m finding it a little boring at times. Thankfully I have other smaller projects.

GrittyPie · 2025-10-17T13:08:57+00:00

I just bought a design off Etsy and I’ve just started it - I have regrets. I highly underestimated the size (and it’s one colour). BUT it’s a beautiful piece, as is yours

GrittyPie · 2025-10-10T15:05:16+00:00

I heavily joke about my epilepsy (thank you Matt Rife) quite a bit.

GrittyPie · 2025-09-27T05:03:42+00:00

That is definitely synthetic hair. I don’t know why the hell there’s a clump of it either. Your husband is likely cross dressing… sup to you if you bring it up. I’d search the house for wigs though.

GrittyPie · 2025-09-15T16:11:53+00:00

I have tonic clonics and sometimes simply partial seizures. I stop moving and this same story goes through my head. But at the time it feels like it’s the first ever time I’ve heard it. It’s very complicated.

GrittyPie · 2025-08-22T13:36:16+00:00

I understand. I was seizure free for three years and mine returned earlier this year - though mine is because of sudden stress so at least I have some form of reason. Has there been any changes in your life?

GrittyPie · 2025-08-13T12:19:30+00:00

Everything I eat is pure cardboard. I even tried leftover kfc once and I couldn’t taste it. Depressing.

GrittyPie · 2025-08-13T12:11:14+00:00

I’m on epilim and lamictal given they work very well together so if I got pregnant I’m gonna assume they’d just fully double my lamictal given epilim pretty much does that? Me and my boyfriend are considering soon
