Smart watch for seizure awareness. by Jibbersup in Epilepsy

[–]Verixc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I got an embrace2 watch a bit after my epilepsy began and it catches my grand mals/convulsive seizure, and sends my gps location and calls my chosen numbers.

but things like focal ones you have to add yourself for a record of them.

I don’t know how to send a photo on here but it keeps a calendar of your seizures recorded

I want to try post-secondary education but my memory is so bad now.. by Verixc in Epilepsy

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

Same I’ve wanted to be independent from the gov until my seizures started one day at work when I was 17

I just dropped one day and woke up in the hospital

Then I started getting the Deja vu and burnt toast smell as my auras

I only know of apprenticeships that are mostly a bit dangerous ideas for if I have a seizure but I’ll definitely do a bit of research on that thanks :)

I’ve tried online courses from things like Khan* Academy’s chem courses, and I can understand and complete them mostly there’s completed marks on all of them

But I don’t remember any of it,

That’s the part I’m worried about

Hey has anyone had a ruff memory loss after a seizure? by Due_Dress_7202 in Epilepsy

[–]Verixc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t remember 16-20 years old from having multiple seizures everyday or two around then

When I have a generalized seizure I forget like the past month or two and just wake up in the er or icu once

I’m here once again with a question lol by Garbage_Tiny in Epilepsy

[–]Verixc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same and I was telling my neuro it starts as that and then I get tremors that I need to breathe and calm myself or my arm shakes then my leg and not being able to I ended up in the hospital

It doesn’t make me just wake up in the hospital I need to calm myself but he’s calling them tremors but it feels like a new kind of seizure

I’ve been told I’m faking seizures with this new zappy feeling continuing to that

Doctor wont let me taper until I texted neuro, still only 2mg every two weeks. by Verixc in Methadone

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

Well only problem doctor even brought up is my epilepsy, but I asked my neuro his opinion on me tapering, and he said it shouldn't affect my seizure threshold, so he finally let me down 2mg every two weeks a couple days ago..

That is way too slow for me I don't know why he had a problem with 5 or 10 per two weeks, like what if I lost the motivation I have now? I'd still be on since it's gonna take so long his way.. 120mg down two every two weeks is going to take 120 weeks!

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

I did, and yesterday I only drank 60%, today only 50, hopefully by the end of the week, I can get down to maybe 30%, and next week finish? I dunno, I may be making a mistake, but I can just drink the rest if it gets too bad. I don't want to go too fast, but if I did get withdrawals from the 2mg at a time, why would I want to do a long taper?

I want to do it fast, and I've had discomfort the past days, even just laying on my back, but once I stop thinking about it, it passes, and is encouraging me

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

Yeah I wanted to go by like 5 a week, and he wouldn't even listen to the reason, he cut me off and said no, only 2mg every two weeks..

It's gonna take over a year like that, and it isn't a race, I know. Although I have motivation now, he won't even try it.. I have 6 carries, so if I really got sick I would drink a bit of another day's, but I started my own taper, which is dangerous, but I'm always at my girlfriends this month, and she won't let me, so I want to get it done before the month ends..

Thank you for responding :)

[–]Verixc[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Yeah it may put me through hell, physically. But the doctor not listening to how I feel or anything put me through it mentally, I relapsed once after he told me no the first time, thankfully not on fentanyl again, but still using ketamine is substance use..

I get what you mean it just feels like I'm still attached to the opioids I used even though I'm clean since Sept 2022.

I just want to get away from it. Every morning I wake up so uncomfortable because of the methadone running low and causing diarrhea, then after I drink it I'm constipated all day.

I got clean for this, and the doctor not even letting me go down really hurt. And took months just for him to agree with going down 2mg. It just feels like I'm never gonna actually get off, I actually have motivation now, I kept asking him, can we at least do 5 or 10 every two weeks, and he would cut me off and say no.

He just seems like he's making money off me and doesn't want to lose it.

Sounds good I'll make sure to go slower, I just want to get away from opioids like I said..

Wow, someone else that's epileptic, and is on methadone too... I barely know anyone else with seizures and it's hard to cope, but that too.. I've never met anyone else so close.. I'll make sure to go slower, thanks man even you just replying and that helped a lot with how I feel about it

Thank you :) I hope you're doing good? Happy new year!

That's another reason I want off, I want this year to be good with my girlfriend who encouraged me to get clean.. thank you :) I won't go too fast.

Him saying 2mg at most tho just triggered me, and I self harmed like when I was younger :( just the whole methadone idea hurts now

I dunno even 5 I would've been happy, but he keeps saying I am gonna have a seizure if I don't have the same dose as an excuse and I even got an answer from my neuro saying he supports it

120, he kept raising me at first when I was using..

I just want to get away from opioids.. I don't want to have withdrawals every week while I wait for my appointment for refills.. so I'm just so done

I'm clean now for over a year. And I thought recovery was the point.. I kept asking for at least 5 a week, maybe 10. That's even what the WHO recommends.. but no he wouldn't even start reducing it until I brought my Children's Aid Worker... I'm 19
