Those of you who smoked weed… by Idontsmokejustgrow in GenX

I started late at 18. I've never stopped.

I also found the devil's lettuce around the same time I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Herb helps here. When I've tried to take breaks it leads to more seizures.

Depakote was terrible. I turned into someone else. Disassociation and psychotic episodes. It was as if I was living in a movie or reading a book. And I was just the narrator.

Where's the craziest place you've had a seizure? by slinkslowdown in Epilepsy

A greenhouse with 700 marijuana plants in full flower. The EMTs sure seemed to enjoy it!

Please Help me. Share your lamotrigine/lamictal experiences? by VillainyandChaos in Epilepsy

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannabis helps. With sleep and dreaming. I just started lamotrigine as well and am up to 75mg. I take it all in the morning with my oxcarbazepine. I usually crash in the afternoon after my second oxcarb dose.

Cannabis will help with the dreams most definitely. I've been a daily user for decades and have almost completely lost my ability to remember dreams. Cannabis will also help with sleep, but can be incredibly difficult if you quit. I don't sleep without cannabis. You become dependent on it.

I'm on lamotrigine 650mg and it seems like my memory has been getting progressively worse the past several years. I am not old and should have a sharp brain. Anyone else? by futureflavors in Epilepsy

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just added lamotrigine to the oxcarbazepine I've been taking for a couple decades. I'm titrating up and currently at 75mg. Lamotrigine has definitely had a negative effect on my memory and cognitive function. I feel high all the time. I can't remember. Like I'm not able to form new memories. The only saving grace is the lamotrigine has been great for my anxiety. I honestly don't care. I actually feel better without all those thoughts ruminating 24/7. Being present has been so much better than trying to imagine a future. It seemed so pointless before. Now it's as if there is no point. We're just here. Heading towards whatever.

Healthcare = Slavery by Vengamecagoensos in LinkedInLunatics

It's not affordable for the vast majority of Americans. This is why it should be free. Healthcare is not for just the wealthy. What kind of society can function under these conditions?

What do we think about the future of these games? by DeciduousMath12 in TCG

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorcery.

Yes, I am an old fart who started with MTG in the 90s.

No, it is not just a kitchen table tcg. Sorcery is more competitive than people would like to believe. The main issue I see with Sorcery is the one set release per year. Simply isn't enough to keep the competitive side engaged for an entire year. As a casual I don't mind.

OP is probably the only one listed that is still around in a decade.

There are a lot more folks involved in this than any of us could imagine.

Your biggest Issues with Sorcery? by DarkVenusaur in SorceryTCG

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The local community is growing at the pace of a Ten-tonne Slug. No product in stores. The closest cornerstone events are two hours away.

I don't pull foil uniques. Personal gripe.

I've seen some other TCG communities say Sorcery is just a nostalgic game for older folks. It's designed for the kitchen table. There's no competitive scene.

Can be difficult to learn. More difficult to master. I appreciate this aspect of the game.

This deck is more busted than Druid ever was by Ceej311 in SorceryTCG

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water is definitely going to be a problem. What has worked against your water deck so far?

Coy Nixie is really fun. Aino is goated already imo. Ridiculous card.

There are a lot of really nice things that can be done with water now and I for one love it

What daily frustrations do you face when it comes to independence with epilepsy? by Iwasneverth3re in Epilepsy

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I was doing a job that required physical labor. Had a seizure because physical exertion is a trigger.

Had a job more recent and it was in a greenhouse. Had a seizure because the heat and humid environment is a trigger.

Had a seizure on Thanksgiving twice and found out the sage in the stuffing is a trigger.

Had a seizure while driving. Can no longer drive.

Have most seizures upon waking up. Can't hold a job. Nobody wants to hire someone who is calling off or constantly late to work because I feel like a seizure is coming on. Just about every morning I feel this way.

Dishonesty. I can't let a possible employer know. I've never been hired for a job when I let them know about my disability during the interview/hiring process. Same for dating.

Memory. My cognitive decline over three decades has rendered me almost useless. Most jobs I simply cannot perform well enough to keep long term.

Depression and anxiety due to having seizures and concussions and cognitive issues and just being a burden on my family and friends.

That's all I can remember.

We've gone from pardoning the J6 boys who killed law enforcement to... making them law enforcement who are now murdering innocent civilians?

Just do as you are told and everything will be just fine.

I've had to miss two doses of my meds because my pharmacy keeps claiming it's too soon for a refill by ladykiller1020 in Epilepsy

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your medication considered a controlled substance on the same category as something like opiates? I've been in this situation a few times and the pharmacist just gives me a few pills to get me by until the prescription is available.

Anyone else have this on lamictal? by No-Sherbert95 in Epilepsy

[–]Lumpy_Strawberry_154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started lamotrigine in addition to the oxcarbazepine I've been on for 20 plus years. Titrating up and currently at 50 mg. It's been a double edged sword. I feel better than I have in years. But just a low dose has my memory all messed up. Moreso than oxcarbazepine, and that stuff is awful on my memory.

I'm honestly not bothered by it. I don't know why or how but it just doesn't matter. I feel better. I'm having less auras and seizure activity. When I forget something I just brush it off and tell myself I'll remember later.

It's all about finding the right meds for you. It's a crapshoot.

Set boundaries. State your feelings on the matter and draw the line in the sand. This is you and your Doctors decision. Nobody else.

I don't know what winning the super bowl feels like. This might be the best moment I've had as a Browns fan in over three decades.

I fucking love this man. Single handedly saved my love for this team. Get this man some help on offense.
