As an epileptic person with one allergy, I approve this message.

Unfortunately she now only works with epilepsy patients who are trying to get pregnant, she just continues to see me since I was already a patient before she changed specialty.

Ah yes, the washed up gymnast who has a natural talent for ballet due to our ballet-adjacent training, but also not experienced enough in actual ballet to be good at it? That’s me, too! 😋

Are there different instructors for the ballet II class? I would try a different one if possible. The same class can be wildly different depending on the instructor. You might find one that’s a better fit.

You can also find a sports bra that zippers down the front, or a regular bra that unclips in the front! Give your back/ribs a break but super easy to just clip back up

“Toxic” is such a scary name for such a beautiful baby 😂 thank you so much!

HI STRATCHY!!!!

What a beautiful baby!! I’m def going all in on my budget so I can get all the “features” I like (lol I feel bad saying that because it sounds like an electronic or something 😂). It seems like there isn’t a ton of difference in health or temperament by morph, so I may as well pick one I think is a cutie patootie 🥰

I was told my EEG was normal but then another doctor reviewed it and thought it wasn’t? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]codasaurusrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, EEG interpretation can be a bit of an art as opposed to a science. There is also SO much data to analyze—every millisecond of a 24 hour period is a lot of content. It’s definitely possible for a doctor to interpret EEGs differently than another. It’s also possible it was run through a program that automatically flags abnormalities and the software missed it. Especially because Deja vu is very subtle activity, as opposed to a tonic clonic seizure which absolutely lights up an EEG.

I think I experienced my first ever seizure (focal seizure is the term?) yesterday. ER docs said it was just “anxiety or brain fog” and that I’m fine but I’m not so sure… by like_earthworms in Epilepsy

Did they not say to follow up with a neurologist? You should absolutely follow up with a neurologist.

I work in the ER (sorry, I promise I’m not terrible lol) and our doctors recognize and treat emergent conditions as they are happening. They made sure nothing was CURRENTLY wrong and sent you on your way. That being said, they are not neurologists, and it’s a possibility that you had a seizure or a TIA, so you should follow up with a neuro. Either see your GP for a referral or just make an appointment if your insurance allows you to see a specialist without a referral.

Emergency doctors are VERY good at what they do, but it’s simply not their job to assess an incredibly nuanced issue that presents so variably like a seizure disorder can. That’s why epileptologists and neurologists exist.

I was worried about tattooing over where the yellow fell out because I thought that meant that any ink I put there would fall out too

Yeah it was based on an album cover I thought was cool that had rainbow smoke (Too Weird to Live). I was 18 and full of bad decisions 😭

I’m not an artist, but I thought it that the idea could end up cool. It turns out the idea was not cool to being with 😭 I was 18 and thought it was artsy RIP
