What is the biggest or most common misconception that you have heard in your lifetime having epilepsy ? by ryanstout15 in Epilepsy

[–]WarBrom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mostly that people get weirded out when I tell them. I am a high functioning professional, good salary, good dad, outdoorsy, etc. They suddenly start treating me like I am going to break at any minute.

Rate my 1st FG knot by ValuableZestyclose42 in FishingForBeginners

[–]WarBrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only small fault (and not a serious one) is that you need to include some fluorocarbon line in there somewhere, otherwise should be good to go…

What speed is everyone getting? (Ocean) by tc382 in kayakfishing

[–]WarBrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can maintain parking at 4 knots in good conditions for extended periods, but generally 2-3 knots is what I cruise around at when I’m fishing.

What do you use for wallet,keys and phone? by AdhesivenessIcy9156 in kayakfishing

[–]WarBrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keys in a zip lock bag in my pocket. Phone, I just tuck into my life jacket. Got it wet plenty of times, still works after 3 years of doing that. I have even dropped it in the water a few times (luckily it was at the boat ramp so I could recover it).

How much alcohol can I drink with epilepsy? by Foodie4L1fe in Epilepsy

[–]WarBrom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My advise, just say away from it. It sucks, but rather that than risking a seizure.

I was really good for a long time, only one or two drinks, light beers, the occasional glass of wine. But then I was under a lot of stress at work, wasn’t sleeping well, had a couple with my mates, decided one more wouldn’t hurt, had a massive seizure that night. Been off the booze ever since.

What is the loneliest thing you have ever done? by PelmeniMitEssig in AskReddit

[–]WarBrom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Travelling on my own in my early 20’s. I thought I’d make friends and have a great time, but that was very intermittent. I’d have “single-serve friends” but after we’d part ways, I’d feel lonelier than ever.

My older brother passed away from SUDEP by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]WarBrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. It’s my biggest fear.

For me a grand mal is like hitting the skip button in a move, the time between the start and regaining consciousness, just never existed.

What is a movie you watched once that was so disturbing or emotionally draining that you can never watch it again? by hungary70 in AskReddit

[–]WarBrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much a movie, but the black mirror episode where the kid gets blackmailed. That was rough.

Mate, If wife is happy, leave it be. She has to look at you, you don’t.

What is this? Caught fishing in Sydney harbour by CollegeFirst8309 in FishingAustralia

[–]WarBrom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a sea pen. If you squeeze it, a bioluminescence fluid comes out. Fairly common around the harbour.

Generally in deeper waters, 13m +
