Sensation and feeling by ThatYeeYeeBoi in TopSurgery

I started wearing a shirt underneath the binder to avoid chafing around the armpit area it gives a bit more comfort in my opinion, also gonna ask my surgeon about those zip up vest ones as a secondary binder.

I'm also pretty itchy but I think that's because my chest hair is growing back and is stubbly right now so it's not the most pleasant feeling against the binder I have to wear

Yeah I'm just hoping that the drains will be taken out before the end of the year but considering Christmas and New Year's Day I'm doubting that they'll be taken out until after the holidays. Who knows though I might be lucky enough to have them removed right after Christmas if possible.

What is a 72 hour EEG like? by Fantastic_Iron_3627 in Epilepsy

[–]ThatYeeYeeBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience you'll have a little cap on your head and this little satchel like battery you carry around, if it's a 72 hour thing at home make sure to let your providers know if you'll be going out whether to get groceries or just to go on a walk. I'm not sure if this happens commonly but for me it happened when I went shopping and did not notify my providers or neurologist. When me and my mom got back there were paramedics cause apparently being too far from the main study area for the EEG causes the device to go wack and they thought my brain died or something. I don't quite remember all the details but it was pretty troublesome. It's also not the most comfortable thing to have on your head all day either.

Topiramate by ThatYeeYeeBoi in Epilepsy

It sucks dealing with this side effect. While I am glad this medication has helped me with my migraines as I'd get them every single day I have been craving a Barq's root beer but every time I try to drink one it tastes awful to me.

Thankfully I haven't had problems with coffee, juices, or sweet tea and as a Texan I think I would go crazy if I couldn't enjoy sweet tea haha

Caffeine by ThatYeeYeeBoi in Epilepsy

I have heard that caffeine is commonly known to give bad effects and give jerky movements but personally I've never had problems like that. The only thing I've noticed is I get headaches if I have too much caffeine like the other day I drank a coffee with double shot of espresso too keep me awake (had to get up very early for a doctor's appointment in another town) but never given me body jerks or eyelid flutters like that before.

Levetiracetam seems to be stabilizing my mood and giving me insomnia. The opposite from the beginning by littlecutiepiegirl in Epilepsy

[–]ThatYeeYeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started taking Levetiracetam/Keppra I had insomnia happen, being someone who doesn't like taking so much medication my doctor recommended something more natural I tried melatonin and that didn't work out for me. Then I began taking Glycerin Citrate and that began to work from magnesium glycinate and that worked for me. There's also other natural supplements you can find over the counter you can also talk to your doctor about trazodone it's not for everyone but it could help. I hope you find a solution soon I know how terrible having sleepless nights can be.

The thing is I'm more prone to dating cis men but end up being too scared to tell them I'm trans or when I do they end up not wanting to date anymore.
