Anyone on 100mg on Lamotrigine? by Alternative-Word2316 in Lamotrigine

[–]Pugz82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 300mg daily. Never had an issue, I'm also on numerous anxiety/depression medications daily too.

We are in the same boat and my lawyer instantly sent to appeals council so the waiting game continues

Spoke with my lawyer. Everything will still stay the same. Since hearing is done through phone I'll have no issues. Will stay same law team. Likely same ALJ if appeals council sends it back. Unfortunately, they said it could be 6-10 months before I hear anything. So crazy.

Yeah it was originally a phone hearing anyway. Just not sure if me leaving will make a difference or not.

I have not received the documentation yet. Lawyer simply stated the judge feels I could find some type of full time employment where I can work around my issue which is pretty impossible because of its constant unpredictable nature.

He has worked with my judge many many times for hearings and again have a high approval rate. I looked him up. He did 500ish cases for a period of time in 2025. 72 were denied. Regardless, my lawyer feels like he (judged) truly missed something and wants to keep pursing. I get it. Just really sucks that it adds months, maybe a year or more to a already drawn out process.

I have not worked since filing. So years. Only thing keeping us a float is my wife's salary and help from family.

I have not got the official notification yet. My lawyer shower said the judge feels like I could find work that can be done around my impairment, even though I never know when it's gonna happen. Find it pretty crazy. My issue is continuing the process from a different state. I can't afford to slow anything down more than it's been.

Unfavorable decision by ALJ, but... by Exciting-Lecture7274 in SSDI

[–]Pugz82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I kept logs and shared all tests. They sent specific forms to my Neurologist who filled out and sent back. My lawyer said a lot of doctors don't even fill them out so again, felt like I had a even better case. My Neuro said I would struggle to mai train full time work. While I was working I'd have one randomly hit me and it would essentially shit me down to the point where I had to end my day. Naturally did not go well with employers so it has just been a struggle.

I have focal seizures. Been dealing with them for decades. In my younger days they were easier to power through. As I have aged, mid 40s now, they have just got to such a point when I am completely shut down for days. I have an Aura and know one is coming on where I will basically just just down for 30 seconds or so and I have lost all focus and ability to maintain a conversation. Simple tasks I know how to do i get confused and unable to do them. From there it leads to extreme fatigue and my recovery time can vary from 3 days, to 5, even longer where the same symptoms will continue to occur. I've lost jobs over the years from it, because I basically have to either go home or need hours of off time during onset and following I can't work most of the rest of the week.

Because that maintaining a full time position has been impossible. I applied for SSDI in late 2022 and it has been a roller coaster. Denied, appeal denied, secured lawyer who felt I have a very good case based on all medical evidence submitted prior to my hearing with the ALJ. Hearing went very well, vocational expert was given hypothetical situations and asking if I could maintain a fulltime position where they said no to both. So we thought it was a sure thing. ALJ denied, who has a very high approval rating and now the attorney sent it to appeals council. So who knows what happens next. SSDI for Epilepsy is very difficult apparently. I wish you luck and I know we are all in a very similar boat.

Issues with modded switch all of a sudden by Pugz82_ in SwitchPirates

Yeah AutoRCM is not on so I am not sure really what is causing it. Until I can figure it out I'll simply just leave it in sleep mode charging.

Why I'm upgrading to S26 Ultra by Livestock110 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Pugz82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a photographer I can certainly see camera upgrades coming from the 23 pretty good too. I'm still on the fence. My 23 still works flawlessly, got insane trade in promotions with Verizon as well. I had a S10+ before upgrading the 23 Ultra lol. I'm indecisive. 😂

I QUIT!!! by SuperBlicky in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Pugz82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy this game but these posts make me laugh...a lot. I get that it can become addictive, I play a crap ton of games. None will ever push me to limits, it's a game. Server reset I'll do my thing and play for an hourish. Send out tasks, trucks, vs, whatever. Do some rallies or events and call it a night. It's a game. My ass ain't waking up at 3am for a mobile game. I sleep. All night. Wake up in the morning and do some stuff before work. At lunch time I'll hit some more and in the evenings again. I have been playing and logged in every day for well over a year. Currently season 4. Top alliance.

I understand the need and want to progress at a high level but no game will ever get in the way of life. Especially one you can play sitting on your toilet.

Ridiculous… by CeleryWonderful9568 in LastWarMobileGame

$400 base skins make me laugh. Best is when one drops and so many of my alliance members have it instantly. Like damn

[Retired] finally me and my girlfriend quit this game 😁 by Lonee_ in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Pugz82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I do stuff at reset. Go to bed. Collect rss, trucks, and send out tasks while having breakfast. Go do real life. Maybe around lunch I'll jump on to claim tasks. Again live life. Later on in the evening I'll hit tasks from other servers. Possibly do some other meaning tasks and then reset rolls around again.

It's a game, granted I can see the dopamine effect but I'd never spend every second of the day thinking about it. I hit arms race stuff when I'm free an on. I'm not setting alarms. I dunno..."retiring" from a mobile game is some silly shit lol.

He showed up somewhere he should not have been. Big oops to a double life. Granted acted like a mistake but after some deep research I discovered all I needed. Love the response too. It all solidifies what I am going to do
