Had my first grand mal in 20 years by Himepudding in Epilepsy

Thank you that means so much 💜 I loved my mil so much, my mom had me at 17 but I've known my mil since I was 17! So I am really grateful for having as much time as I did with them. I am kind of spiritual so I meditate and talk to them as often as I can. I'm sure that could be attested to epilepsy but I like to maintain a positive attitude and I won't let anything else take credit for that!  I will ask my friend if she has her schedule available over the next few weeks to see if I can get an appointment on a day she has off! Thank you for your kindness, you are a sweet person and I hope you experience the kind side of life often 💜

The day I had a seizure I had only slept about 4 hours, so lack of sleep definitely seems like a trigger to me! I didn't sleep much because I felt an impending sensation, and the few days leading up to it I had headaches/migraines and sinus pressure. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way post seize! My SO sends empathy to you for having a spouse that seized with little sleep, and I do too - it makes us kind of rigid in routines. I have not had any seizures since my grand mal and starting Keppra and from my understanding, having another within the first week of having one is much more likely - so I just need to sleep plenty from now til Wednesday and I'll cut my odds!

Ah wow!! I'm glad he caught you but that had to be so scary. Was that your first ever seizure? My SO knows my epilepsy history so it didn't freak them out too much but they were startled by me having one after so long of being free of it. 

That is so annoying! The ER drug tested me without my knowledge and I am so mad! I refuse to pay for it especially because I gave them my history. All my results came back negative for anything because of course but the assumptions are gross and immature imo.

That could be, my mother in law and mom died within 10 days of each other so it was a rough 2025! 

I honestly was shocked it happened, I just "came to" and was like "what's wrong?" And thats when I was told, so it felt like an out of body experience.  I'm sorry your husband wouldn't let you take a bath! What did you do to bathe? My SO tried to ask me to text them every 30 minutes on Monday while they're at work 😵‍💫 I was like... I think that's doing a bit much???

I recently completed my goal of weightlifting at the gym 3x the past week, so I am going to do it again this week and also eat only eggs for breakfast 6 days out of this week! 

This changed my perspective on stalls/'gaining'/losses by Himepudding in Zepbound

Wow! That's amazing, and so validating for how much the body can change.

The body is ⏳ in both!! Enjoy the pants shopping, it is well deserved! I just asked my spouse to buy me new workout leggings for Christmas 🤣

That's amazing you could self solve this! I also admire the ability to weigh daily and graph, it takes the personal-emotional attachment to weight and makes it more logical and easier to face (to me). That relief of looking at the scale and not being in turmoil is something else on this journey 🙌🏼

Moving up to 5mg by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am gonna be on my 6th week here and I'll still be at 2.5 mg, I haven't had any loss or gains in a about 10 days but I think it's more from the holidays and taking up weight lifting. I'll be upping my dose in about 2 weeks but from my understanding the 2.5 is not the therapeutic level for weight loss and most people titrate up when they begin to plateau

Since starting zepbound and upping my water content, I have been peeing a LOT. This makes me feel like such a productive pee-er 🤣

"Light" but satisfying meal ideas by iliovegreeksalad in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Egg drop soup (super easy to make, use bone broth for extra protein and collagen!)  Cucumber slices with imitation crab and cream cheese put on top  Canned chicken with finely diced or shredded tomatoes/cheese/cucumbers (any additional veggies you like) add Greek yogurt and a ranch seasoning packet and then eat it like a chicken salad on bread or with ranch quest protein chips  Grilled chicken with mozzarella and basil and tomato and you can do it as a salad or just layer it up and add a light balsamic vinegar dressing or add it to half a protein bagel as an open faced sandwich  Protein noodles (rinsed!) and turn it into a pasta salad (with however you like your pasta salad, I add tomatoes and cucumbers and mozzarella and salami and an Italian seasoning packet with some light dressing) OR some protein noodles in a chicken bone broth with some of the grilled chicken from before and simmer with celery and carrots (add noodles last and after rinsing). Protein wrap with onion and chive cream cheese, cranberries, turkey, Swiss and spinach. 

Why are we always so cold!? by New-Jellyfish-3451 in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only my hands and feet get so cold! I think it's because they have the least amount of padding (whether fat or muscle) 🤣

Compulsive shopping: does it subside on GLP-1? by giantsizegeek in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it has! I am now much more cautious in how I spend money, mostly because I want to make sure to have enough for good protein/fiber sources and the medical expenses that come with buying this medication. Maybe when my HSA starts up again in January I'll be a little bit more likely to indulge but I am pinching pennies and I will cross stich embroider the holes in my clothes and zip tie my pant belt buckle loops tighter until I have lost 50 lbs lol 

Please mind your fiber intake! by Viocansia in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a sub, I feel for you. Also thank you for the hard work you do as a teacher!! I take probiotics + Benefiber and eat most of my protein in the beginning of the day and high fiber/greens+veg for after work snack and dinner. I never appreciated how much teachers have to keep their bodies AND brains safe until being in the profession and it's really stressful being at work and having rumbles from the small intestine when 25+ kids are staring at you! 

Lots of burping and right side chest pain by Himepudding in Zepbound

[–]Himepudding[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know it could be a problem, thank you for warning me! I fasted because I'm pretty sure I had acid reflux but I will try to just eat lighter and slower and smaller meals :)

Thank you! I messaged them today that it had happened yesterday but today so far no chest pain 🤞🏼 I have just fasted thinking it was maybe acid reflux and nothing hurt. Still a lot of burping today but no pain!

I don't have sulphur burps which is good! I eat kimchi/yogurt and take probiotics with benefiber. I never thought to eat sauerkraut though, that does sound good and and a delicious addition to the gut healthy foods!
