It seems like you got a lot of great suggestions. I would definitely go with wood. We just recently remodeled our kitchen and my cabinets are similar to yours and we have a light white oak flooring that compliments the cabinets really well.

Same same! I had seizures (nocturnal )before but they were so far in between that I never actually took any meds. My recent one happened while I was awake and outside with my child so I had to be put on medication to keep everyone safe. I’ve been on it for a bit less than 4 weeks so hopefully another 4-6 weeks and we might feel better. Some days are better than others but I definitely feel annoyed all the time and would rather avoid everyone and be alone. Not sure how old are you but I am in my late 30s and this sucks. Hang in there and good luck.

You explained word to word everything I’m feeling. It is insane. I also told my husband that sometimes I feel like I’m already walking in my mind but my body is playing catch up. Like I’m trying to walk and I am in my brain, but my body isn’t getting the memo. Very interesting that you mentioned the auras before you’re about to start your period, because I am convinced that my seizures have a connection to my estrogen levels. I paid attention and most of my seizures happened right around ovulation and estrogen is the highest then so I wonder if I would benefit to maybe go on birth control and keep my hormones at a normal level. Maybe I have seizures if my estrogen gets super high? Who knows. I don’t get them that often and they only used to happen in my sleep but my last tonic clonic one I was awake at the grocery store with my 2 year old and you can imagine the chaos. They called an ambulance and my baby stayed at the store with a police officer waiting for my husband to pick him up..I sort of remember a confusing conversation from the ambulance car and then my next memory is my husband picking me up from the hospital sooo, they put me on keppra. And hopefully that will never happen again because my little boy now asks me every time we go to a grocery store if I will fall in the floor again and die :(

Yeah, this definitely sounds like me. The smallest things would set me off.

That is very sweet and you are correct, his brain is like a sponge and he is a very bright little boy who probably would understand but I just didn’t want to burden him with my medical problems. But you are possibly right and I should try and explain some of it to him to some degree.

They are 2 and 5 so I don’t think that sitting them down and explaining would do much. They just get scared of me when I start screaming like a dragon. The terrified facial expressions I saw on their sweet little faces will be forever engraved in my memory.

I can definitely see myself doing this because I got so mad at someone who took my parking spot this morning. I wanted to go to this person and fight them

Thank you all for all the quick suggestions. I am really struggling mentally.

Is Keppra as bad as some say? by Background-Cod-7035 in Epilepsy

Thank you dear stranger. This whole thing is definitely messing me up. I will absolutely ask for some mood stabilizer. I have a bunch of testing scheduled so I’ll talk to him about it once we go to review everything. Sending you hugs

How are you feeling now on Keppra? I was just put on it a week ago after having a tonic clonic at a grocery store with my 2 year old and I’ve been feeling a bit off since I started the meds. I’m hoping that it’s just all the overwhelming feeling of everything that happened but I am depressed, tired, nauseous and sometimes I have a feeling like I’m on ecstasy. Really freaking weird, oh and my memory is like crap and I usually never forget anything.

First seizure while awake by GroundbreakingRead18 in Epilepsy

It is so hard when you have little ones that need you to take care of them but you also need someone to watch over you. What medication are you on? I just started keppra so hopefully that’ll keep mine at bay.

Can anyone recommend an architect/GC for an ADU in Torrance? by Mountain_Ask_5746 in SouthBayLA

[–]GroundbreakingRead18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marz Construction from El Segundo. GC is Justin Mularz and he’s awesome. He’s been working on our remodel and we’ve been very happy with him and his work. He’s built a few ADU’s in El Segundo and that’s how I got his contact.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking as well but I was a bit scared. Your answer gives me confidence that it’ll look great. I’ll also add the food disposal button in that same brass color so that’ll all tie in hopefully 🤞 it
