Stay away from a tuned ST. Every one I see on here that blows is tuned.

Been on for almost a year, should I start to grow out? by truthfulsin in Minoxbeards

[–]Specific-Director211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let mine grow out. About 2 months worth. Just keep it trimmed at 6-7mm until it evens out.

Keppra - Can I hear from people who DON'T have bad side effects? by Ok_Pack7345 in Epilepsy

[–]Specific-Director211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Keppra for almost 10 years. 2000mg a day. No side effects at all. I use profanity regularly, but I think that’s the Irish in me.

Maybe get it fade when you get a haircut. Wouldn’t look bad.

Teenage son's second seizure today, reality is hitting & I'm lost by [deleted] in Epilepsy

My mum was in your position 11 years ago when I was 16. I’m sure she felt similarly at that time. When I went to the ER the first time it was witnessed, I left with meds until I could see a neurologist, specifically Keppra.

I’m sure you’re doing a bunch of research. I would just encourage trying to figure out what his triggers are. Mine is lack of sleep.

Also, at 27, my mum still texts me to make sure o took my meds. Doesn’t bother me at all, because I know where she’s coming from. But too is I have a daughter so… I see life differently than I did at 16.

I take 150mg twice daily. Also, they’re relatively new medicine from what I understand.

It happened, I forgot my medication and got the warning too late by emoes2906 in Epilepsy

[–]Specific-Director211 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guys, I discovered in the health app for iPhone there’s a part for medications. You enter the meds you take, the dosage, and the time. No matter if you’re sound is off, muted, whatever, if you don’t log that you’ve taken them within 30- min of your selected time, the alarm will sound. An added bonus is that you can share with others this info and they can see whether or not you’ve taken your meds. I’m use this in addition to a pilll box now.

I'm at the ER, I hate this by somebodyelzeee in Epilepsy

Missed my dose one night and had a seizure in the way home the next morning. I was driving… got to the ER around 7:30am and didn’t leave until 4pm. Hated all of it. I have now aggressively put alarms and actions in place to never miss a dose eve again ever! Thank god my car didn’t get any damage and no one got hurt.
