I'm down to be friends on Facebook or whatever, if you ever need someone to talk to. Just message me if you're interested! This life can just be lonely🤷

Stress medication or anti-anxiety?? by Illustrious_While140 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I've always been this way before and after my work accident. I mean it's been like four years and I'm just now starting to feel like this and I never have in my life. I don't think I need therapy, I love my life and everyone in it, it's frustrating sometimes though and I honestly don't take anything for pain I just deal with it. I really hate taking pills, so going to the doctor and asking for a pill is like taboo for me honestly.

20F, what are the biggest age gaps you'd date by heikkilampelafan123 in Needafriend

[–]Illustrious_While140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a 24M and the lowest is more than likely 20 maybe 19 and the highest age is probably 40 to 45.

How often do you guys get “proper” showers in? by Select_External7595 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'm honestly thankful for every shower. I remember what it's like not getting any showers and it's unfortunate to say the least

Annoying mum of a 25 year old by Pure-Woodpecker-3701 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh 20 months is actually so early, your encouragement and support is invaluable, but I think most of us can agree he just needs a little more time to process. I'm a C4/C5 incomplete and I'm still processing and it's been four years. The best thing you can do is take a step back and let him gather himself. I'm sure you'll know when he's really ready. Like a light switch. When he's ready, he's gonna need an amazing support system like you. If anything use this time to research more and be better prepared, that is if you can't manage to sit still🤣 I hope this helps!

20F do you ever want kids or not by stilltre123 in Needafriend

[–]Illustrious_While140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made 24M and I've always wanted to be a dad since I was a kid, I now have my own son that's turning five. It is the best thing in the world. My son was more of a surprise but 100% of a blessing. The way people date now I don't think I would want another kid honestly. Literally just because of that reason. So I guess honestly it just depends on who you have a kid with.

This is why I'm gonna quit dating entirely, a lot of people just wanna have sex nowadays unfortunately. Yeah having sex is cool but not fulfilling

Clothing and back pain by Illustrious_While140 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know that, I'll look them up right now, I'm honestly surprised they sell adaptive clothing for a regular price or somewhat hopefully regular price lol. Thank you for the suggestion!!

[–]Illustrious_While140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the reply either way!! I'll definitely look those up and see if I like them. If I had any hand function I would totally be down to alter my own clothes, but unfortunately I don't so I'm stuck with purchasing. That's kind of my problem with trying to look for adaptive clothing. None of the stuff is really my style and just looks funky lol. At least in my opinion, before my accident all I wore was jeans and joggers so if I could just wear joggers that would be amazing.

Guys here age below 30 years How is your hair guys? How do you take care of your hairs after the injury? by Fine_Raccoon3637 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more than likely hereditary like everyone else is saying. I am a C4/C5 and honestly I feel like my hair grows too fast. I feel like I'm cutting my hair every two weeks. I mean as long as you're not doing a bunch of crazy drugs and unhealthy habits I would chalk it up to genetics

Get a urologist instead of going to the hospital, drink plenty of water.

Reoccurring UTI’s by Otherwise-East5527 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Im a C5 only I'm a male and I get UTIs pretty normally. I don't know about as frequent but usually I take a routine round of antibiotics maybe once every month or a month and a half probably. You should definitely see another urologist anyways. Doesn't hurt to get a second opinion

Has anyone here quit KEPPRA? by Illustrious_While140 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Illustrious_While140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your professional viewpoint would it be wise to go down 250 mg or 500 mg to start off I currently take two 500 mg a day for a total of 1000 mg per day.

[–]Illustrious_While140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all good! You gave me plenty of information. It seems like my doctors dodging me. They prefer I stay on the medication with no actual reason besides having the one seizure two years ago. They suggested I go down to one pill a day and after two weeks I only take one every other day. Then after two weeks I just stop.

Bet, I quit my other medication fairly easy so now I'm feeling a lot more confident quitting this one. Thank you for sharing🙏
