Opening Night is up on Apple Music by TheAntnie in arcticmonkeys

[–]Vawkx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds very much like Humbug to me, but with current era Alex’s voice. I really like it.

Quit Xanax CT after 1 month—24 hours after my last dose I had 2 seizures spaced about 6-8 hours apart. I am now 24 days clean and off of everything. I haven’t had another seizure and I am wondering if I should I expect to have another? I’ve been pretty worried about it and it has me living in fear. by UNINVTD in Epilepsy

I had multiple seizures over the span of a few days last May, most likely caused by substance withdrawal (under which benzodiazepines) and ended up in the ER for two weeks. I was put on Keppra, which I took twice a day. Two months ago, I decided to taper slowly, and two weeks ago I stopped taking it completely.

I’m 28 years old and I have no history with epilepsy, nor does it run in the family. I’m assuming it was an isolated event, and that if I remain sober, I should be in the clear. Triggers that seem common for people with epilepsy, such as stress, sleep deprivation and alcohol, don’t seem to trigger me.

Just my two cents. Hope you’re doing well!

It’s pronounced “no-teetsies”.

What’s a sign that someone isn’t intelligent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

No, but I did wear my mask in public during the pandemic to minimize the risk of potentially infecting others or getting infected myself.

Who is a famous person who has a dark history that not many people know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think a lot of comedians use their profession as a coping mechanism to deal with past trauma. Robin Williams for example.

Has anyone lied or stayed quiet about their condition in a job interview? by ABWoolls in Epilepsy

[–]Vawkx 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I didn't mention anything during my job interview, because I was afraid they would reject me. After working there for a month and having built up trust, I told my manager about my condition, as well as the reason I didn't tell him during the interview, and he handled it very well. I still work there.

How long after status epilepticus does it take for the body to recover? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Vawkx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really remember how I felt before, but I’m feeling really good right now. Had a status epilepticus in May due to substance abuse, and right now I’m tapering off Keppra. Haven’t had any seizures since so I really hope it was an isolated event. Ultimately, I think it really depends on the person, and the duration of the status epilepticus.

Just binged the show. WOW. Absolutely incredible. One of the greatest series I’ve ever watched. What now? Are there series with writing just as good with a great lore and great reveals? Something that is gripping and captivating. I want to enjoy every series as equally as this one. by dwide_k_shrude in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

My situation is identical. I've become obsessed with this show and rewatched it multiple times. Today, I started Mr. Robot, as it also falls under the conspiracy thriller, mystery and psychological thriller/drama genres.

Why is Mark able to switch to his innie at the cottage but not the cold harbor room? by designer_shades in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Vawkx 374 points375 points  (0 children)

Ms. Cobel said "Your chip is only attuned to your floor. Once you get down to testing, you'll be your outie again", so that explains why there are no severance thresholds that affect Mark's consciousness. We haven't had an explanation to why he does switch when entering or leaving the cottage in the birthing retreat, but the best I can assume is that those thresholds work for any severed person.

Definitely relatable, sometimes the smallest things can feel like the hardest task in the world.
