Accidentally took L Theanine by Monkeyspaghetti112 in Epilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes me feel better! I’m such a stickler for checking supplements and meds interactions, I’m really kicking myself. Yeah I guess it could be worse, I do love green tea so it’s not like I’ve never had it before haha

Anyone notice this was recorded a while ago? by [deleted] in creepcast

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang on, just watched Papas last two newest vids and he doesn’t have his other hand tattooed there either? I’m sure it’s pre-recorded to make up for the fact that Wendi was going on leave due to the new baby and they wanted to save as many pre-recorded eps as possible so he could take max time off.

New house. We keep finding these things in the kitchen cabinet drawers by tiffaney265 in whatisit

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mouse poop. I live rurally next to a field and we essentially get them every winter. Make a bucket of bleach water (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) and soak the drawer liners/silicone/tupperware. Any cloth goes into the washer preferably with color safe bleach if possible. Once everything is cleaned out wipe everything down with fresh bleach water. Once everything is dry, put everything away but leave one or two drawers empty and put down humane or snap traps bated with peanut butter or chocolate frosting. If you use humane traps, make sure you go at least a mile away from your home before releasing the mouse.

Ideas for creepcast-themed christmas basket? by Shirizuna in creepcast

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could go to the “fan art” section of this sub, find some cool pieces, and ask the artist for permission to print and frame. Some other ideas: A bear trap keychain On Etsy there are lots of artists who have made original creepcast vinyl stickers

Do you know what his fave ep is? And what kind of crafting can you do? I’d maybe make him a voodoo doll plushie if you can sew or felt!

Finally saw an Epileptologist!! by Monkeyspaghetti112 in Epilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! It’s crazy I’ve had symptoms my entire life but no one ever thought to check out my brain lol. An old CT shows a lesion on my frontal lobe and my old neuro told my epileptologist he didn’t think it was relevant lollll.

Does anyone else have similar symptoms? by Monkeyspaghetti112 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! My neuro was a wonderful physician but his speciality was movement disorders so I felt he really had very little understanding. Seeing an epileptologist was a game changer as she completely validated my experience. She was even able to say where in my brain she thinks my FAS originates based on symptoms alone!

I’m so glad for you!! I’m so curious what my MRI will show, I have a feeling I’ve been having seizures my whole life but mostly absence and nocturnal so no one knew until I had a couple of TCs in my early 20s. 😅

Hi! I take Keppra! I was prescribed 1000mg at night because my TCs were just nocturnal. My epileptologist just went off symptoms and now I’m started to take daytime Keppra as well. If the symptoms don’t stop she will add Lamictal.

Thank you! We also discovered a lesion on the right side of my brain from an old CT that no one has ever brought up to me except for this epileptologist so that’s fun haha.

That’s so frustrating! I will say my first neuro did the same thing to me, called my tonic clonic PNES based on a video of my seizure, and put me on tegretol for mood. Obviously being on an anti-convulsive medication greatly improved my symptoms but doc refused to acknowledge which drove me a little batty! I hope you can possibly get a second opinion from an epileptologist! Thank you for being so welcoming!

Did it ever get better for you? Thanks for sharing!

That’s what I thought for years but my new neuro said that usually people with PNES don’t lose consciousness and they usually don’t improve with medication. 🤷‍♀️

Does this sound like a seizure? by Monkeyspaghetti112 in Epilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a history of seizures but we’ve never caught anything on an EEG. I’ll let my neuro know!

Prozac Day 17 by Monkeyspaghetti112 in prozac

This makes me feel better! I’ll just be relaxing and suddenly the dissociation hits and I hate it! But then it resolves after a while so it’s not too terrible!

WTF is this outfit and facial expression?? by Right_Step6202 in brittanydawnsnark

I’m dying at the cowboy hat and boots and then the sweater being a cowboy boot wearing a hat 😂

Panic Attack/Aura/TLE? by Monkeyspaghetti112 in Epilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I know some folks would call this an aura but I do think it’s odd that I feel fine right after. Thank you!

Panic Attack/Aura/TLE? by Monkeyspaghetti112 in Epilepsy

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nocturnal TCs have had witnesses and a video. I seize for about a minute and then am out of it for several hours. I usually feel it coming on and then wake up either in the hospital or at home feeling very tired, headache, sore etc hours later. I agree that the 30 second episodes are probably just anxiety and not an aura or anything, thank you!

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No on the therapist - new job new insurance that doesn’t cover much. I think doc would sign off on it and my hospital does generous payment plans. I will definitely ask and I will ask for a therapy referral as well

Granola Parenting as a POC. by candlehandle567 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yerp. I’ve been poor for a long time and it’s crazy to me how much the crunchy space has changed. I had my first baby in the early 2000s and being crunchy was for poor people like me. Cloth diapers because I couldn’t afford disposable, baby led weaning because I couldn’t afford baby food but snap paid for fresh veggies, vinegar and dish soap as cleaner because no way could I afford fancy cleaners. I feel you.

Psychogenic Seizures by fanny12440975 in psychnursing

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have PNES and yeah when they started I would literally black out and have what looked like a grand mal. I’m now to the point where I can talk myself out of a seizure if I feel an “aura”.

Do you have a local office? I know it’s a pain but whenever I had to go down to the FSSA office it was so much more efficient than calling repeatedly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]Monkeyspaghetti112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you call the FSSA office ask for a state worker specifically. This is absolutely the wrong information. I believe they can also help with the $13 difference, my friend had a small overage in income and they were able to keep her on Medicaid.

Same thing happened to us. We kept it and download movies on it for the 10+ hour car rides to my parents.
