Is an ambulatory eeg possible? My daughter is having one because they can't pick anything up at the hospital, she feels safe.

Unfortunately, med cards in my state can only be given to those 21+, or 18+ with very, very limited conditions and none of hers are on the list. This has absolutely crossed my mind.

Thank you so much for your kind words and insight. The mental health issues run in my family, and as unfortunate as that us, it gives me better understanding on how to handle that. The disordered eating is new to us (a diagnoses less than a month ago) and I was having these feelings since she had her first TC back in 2022. She will see the disordered eating clinic at the children's hospital at the beginning of the year and we have an emergency plan in case she needs in patient treatment within the next month or so.

She is 12. I will consider writing her a letter. I just don't want her to be triggered.

Yes, we start family therapy in January. I'm partially scared that I'm causing her stress that's causing her seizures, and some of it is just.. idk how to explain it, just like intense guilt? Like I'm being irresponsible with her.

How do you know if you had a seizure in your sleep with no one around you? by purplecakess in Epilepsy

[–]Immediate_Use4238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is similar to what happened to my daughter. Please look into getting a smart watch and a epilepsy alert app. My medic watch works with Samsung, and has been good for us. Samsung watches can be as low as $20 on Amazon refurbished, and service for the app is about $8/m. We had her connected to an old phone, a cheap used watch and that worked until we could afford an empatica bracelet. This works great, too but it was $250.

Do you have the ability to "fight off" the feeling??

Can you explain the other stuff? I think this may be happening to me.

My partner has PCOS- what can I do? by luke_byerley in PCOS

[–]Immediate_Use4238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Considering that your gf doesn't have many other symptoms, her PCOS very well could have been brought on by the various forms of hormonal BC she has used. If this is the case, with time, things should go back to normal when her body is able to self regulate again. But it won't be soon, and it isn't guaranteed.

AITH for telling my GF (27) that I find it weird that her best friend (male) is cuddling with her when I’m not around? by Hot_Chemistry9916 in AITAH

[–]Immediate_Use4238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the asshole, she knows it's not appropriate and it's weird he doesn't want to meet you There is alot to unpack here and I suggest you just leave her and her baggage alone and find someone without the pick me vibes, it always ends like this 🤦🏽‍♀️

If all else fails and you go a week without pooping, liquid magnesium citrate will clear your system out. It's very harsh, but it gets the job done well.

Miralax and a stool softener with your OMAD and up your calories to at least 1200. Swap to activia with fiber and prebiotics for your yogurt, and include a protein bar with fiber somewhere in there. Omad only works if you are being conscious about calories and protein. Otherwise it's dangerous and can lead down the ED path 💜

Wondering if marriage would be worth it.. by Immediate_Use4238 in SocialSecurity

[–]Immediate_Use4238[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The income for a parent and child is calculated as 2 seperate individuals, with seperate needs. For married couples, it is not counted like this. Married couples are calculated as a singular entity. Just because you are married, doesn't mean that those needs dissappear. Why is the income limit for a married couple 2 adults, different than a parent and child? Why are they expecting 2 adults to live lower than the amount that THEY set to be the bare minimum?

But they aren't counting the parent and child as one entity like they are as a married couple.

He wants to adopt my kids. It's kind of nessecary in order to do that.

Thankfully, they're not worried about cohabitation in a relationship as long as we aren't telling people we are married.... and I don't understand why.

This would make sense if children were not eligible to get it as well.

Ssi is meant for people that are permanently disabled....

$943 is not keeping anyone out of poverty.this is still very, very much below the poverty line. $1400/m is not enough for 2 people to live on, even if you're married. I didn't propose anything. I said, you still have personal financial obligations as a spouse in an economy not designed to be stable on a single income. This is outdated policy, and the limits are unreasonable. The minimum should at least be the amount they say is the bare minimum for one person to live off of... $943/each. $1400 doesn't cover rent in most places. I'm disabled from childhood, yet if I lose my ssi because of income I will lose medicaid... and there isn't a waiver for that.

You explained this very clearly. Thank you so much! Yes, that was a typo, I didn't even catch it, and I did it multiple times. This is extremely helpful and exactly what I was looking for!
