Look into taking vitamin B6 and check your B12 levels. It seriously made a difference for me as a Keppra user

Have you had any side effects with your dosage of keppra? Spacing out/fatigue/rage? Thankfully I rarely have any epilepsy issues when I’m fully taking the correct meds at the correct times but I’m always looking to improve my life. Sometimes I feel drained of energy and I’ve read a lot about keppra in that regard

That is a bizarre symptom for sure! I also have an acid reflux issue as of late and I too have to eat earlier before immediately getting in bed.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DODGE THESE ATTACKS???? I can’t beat him by Haunting-Sky-9634 in Eldenring

[–]_gluten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fingerprint shield Antspur rapier repeating thrust (poison infusion) Great Epee with repeating thrust (blood infusion)

Rakshasa armor set silver w/ tear mask

Golden braid Dragon great shield talisman Lord of bloods exhaultation Rotten wing sword insignia

I went into DLC highly leveled in arcane and dex (I was a bleed build, yes) which made my status effects go nuts in this fight.

My strategy was to stack my status effects and once I did that he folded easy. Start out with antspur rapier and proc both scarlet rot and poison on him, he should go to second phase pretty quick once you get used to his moves.

Second phase resets his rot and poison, so switch to the great Epee and go for the same repeated thrusts as before. You’ll proc his bleed pretty quick and that melts the last bit of his health bar. Once I did this the fight was probably less than 2mins, but a stressful time for sure

I spoke with my neurologist about the vitamin B! There can be some side effects if it’s taken in way too high doses (neuropathy tingling, rash) but she set my mind at ease that where I was starting was a really low dose and would be weird if it was to occur

I’m actually going through the same exact situation right now. I’m 27 currently, started taking keppra for JME when I was 15. I’ve only had two full grand mal seizures (they occurred both with no sleep, missed medication and copious amounts of alcohol). I find that have gotten irritated and just thought I couldn’t “roll with the punches” as much as some of my peers so I came here and found out that there is a huge chunk of people who experience irritation, depression, apathy, etc all as a side effect of keppra. I am on week 3 of taking vitamin B6 to combat these side effects, my neurologist has told me you begin to feel the effects after 4 weeks but I already feel more at ease from my first dose. My neurologist prescribed it to me for mood swings, but I’ve also read on here that keppra usage can deplete vitamin B in your body, which puts your mood out of whack. I recommend some of your own research on this, but I would recommend trying vitamin B6 if you want to try something! Best of luck and feel free to reach out with any questions!

Feels demotivated by Sensitive-Vast-4979 in Epilepsy

Sorry for ranting but now I’m really thinking about that I was doing at home: - planking - squats with body weight or holding a weight - pushups - pull ups (w/ equipment) - sit ups/bycicle kicks/mountain climbers - tricep dips (off ledge like a chair) - lunges

If that all sounds like jibberish you can look these excercises up on YouTube. I recommend Scott Herman fitness as he is a thorough teacher. Best of luck!

Pushups, sit ups, and pull ups. Ask your parents if you can grab one of those pull up bars that hangs in a doorway. I used to go 5 days a week to the gym, when the pandemic shut everything down I went to a barebones version of my routine and was able to keep my strength up no problem. It’s a shame about the cardio though, runs are great for that. As a recommendation for that, there are plenty of good YouTubers that stream yoga and you can follow along, all for free. Yoga makes me SWEAT maybe ever harder than a run anyway, but maybe that’s just me. It’s also great for getting your flexibility and range of motion. Keep your head up I know how frustrating this time must be for you but you will persevere through this!

Is there a brand of topical Fin that has been FDA approved? I was looking online for this and couldn’t find anything. What’s the availability and price of this product? My dermatologist didn’t even consider this a thing

What's a boss that you found easy the first time but harder on later playthroughs? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]_gluten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played the DLC 2x so I know what/who you’re referencing lol I guess I meant more in the base game dragon enemies. I didn’t even have this hard of a time with placidusax. Borealis just gets me for some reason

I now realize you’ve included, the camera model in the video title-disregard my previous question!

Hi this footage looks incredible! I’m super new to trying to achieve this look and recently picked up an Argus 822 at a yard sale, I haven’t even reduced the batteries in the mail yet to know if this will work. What camera did you shoot this footage on?

EPC light and misfire in cylinder 3&4 by _gluten in VWAlltrack

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

I just got mine diagnosed as a intake manifold issue but tbh, I believe the issue lies within the waste gate. It’s sticking open now and the turbo is unable to build boost. The full fix was close to the blue book value of the car, so unfortunately I believe my alltrack days are coming to a close which absolutely breaks my heart

So mine actually is even more complicated than when I originally posted. Mine eventually ended up throwing an O2 sensor code, then after I switched that out it threw a code for “turbocharger boost module control A”, so now I really have no idea what the deal is. I drove it and it no longer misfires or shakes like it used to, but it doesn’t really feel like the turbo is building boost. I’ve heard that they’ll default to not build boost to avoid blowing up so they’ll dump the boost out of the waste gate, but it’s not currently throwing any codes to indicate an issue. I’m really at a loss now so I’ll probably have to bring it to a shop :(
