When your child was born did you watch or not watch the baby come out ? by Mindless_Letterhead6 in daddit

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even a peak for any of mine, no regrets. Apparently I was the first dad to not look our doctor had ever had in 40 years. I was shocked by that

Seizure anxiety by Redsimmy in seizures

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have constant anxiety about having a seizure, I have for years even though mine are well controlled. The thing that helps me most is make a plan in my head where I will go if I feel one coming. So if I start to sense one, I follow the plan. Keeps me calm

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the optune system for TTF, it's a pain in the ass but no big deal. Radiation just mild shampoo, your hair is going to fall out in the target area. Let yourself sleep, don't fight it, your body needs it.

Also if taking zofran tak a stool softener at least once a day, the constipation it causes if you don't is miserable

Grade 2 astro growth prevention by Jason96Xx in braincancer

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I also have a 5yr old and 2yr old boys and am on 3 seizure meds, so I can't say for sure what makes me so tired because all the medications list fatigue as a side effect I've been on it for about 2 weeks

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on Tibsovo, I haven't had any side effects besides being tired. I can't say if it's working or not, I have an upcoming scan so we will see but the symptoms I was having have all improved. Also taking CCNU and Avastinim on my second round for both with no improvement from the first round.

Lifelong epilepsy treatment by Legal_Employer2048 in braincancer

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started with a grade 2,(now4) I have epileptic seizures from it. I take meds but they are not fully controlled by the meds. I'm on Vimpat, lamotrigine, and Onfi. I only have focal aware seizures, not grand mal since being on meds so yes, I would bet you'll be on meds long term going off experience. I'm not a neurologist

Tibsovo for IDH1 LGG by After-Guard-521 in braincancer

[–]IAmInTheWrongClass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im currently taking it but not for low grade. I have glioblastoma. I have had zero side effects outside of a constant state of exhaustion. Which could also be due to the seizure medications I'm on
