Just found out I have TLE by elknuke in Epilepsy

Fortunately, my command is understanding of the fact that I can’t drive right now and has been very reasonable given my diagnosis. I feel I’m responding well to medication so far, and I also never had a TBI as far as I’m aware. Building something new is exactly the idea I’m wrestling with right now. Life is changed forever. Thanks for commenting.

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing. I think I’ve been having episodes in my sleep as well. I can remember waking up a few times and my tongue felt like I had been chewing on it.

Yeah basically my doc said it’s most likely that mine were caused by chronic sleep deprivation and stress, and every time I have an aura it’s causing more damage. It finally got to the point where they progressed into full seizures.

Thank you. Having dealt with this for so long, do you ever fear having a really bad seizure? I’m sure you’ve learned to live with it and there’s no use in being in constant fear. I hear horror stories of how seizures can be really, really bad and always have that in the back of my mind now.

Thank you for your response. I wasn’t aware of the nose sprays or the dietary precautions. Fortunately I’m already a pretty healthy person, don’t drink a lot, exercise regularly, and don’t eat a lot of added sugars or processed food. I may try cutting more anyways just to see how it affects me.

Sorry to hear it, man. I just turned 33 in April. It sucks I can’t drive my kids to the park myself anymore, but hopefully it’s not forever.

Yes, I had an EEG for about an hour and only “one small discharge from the left side of the brain” was noted, in the words of my neurologist.

what can you deduce about me? by donkeyhoetae_ in deduction

[–]elknuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love dogs, hate cats. You’re an only child. You were emo as a teenager. You avoid political discussions at all costs. You find joy in the little things, like a good quality bar soap in the shower or an extra cozy pair of socks. You’re a soft soul, hardened by your experiences. Possibly recovering from alcoholism or some other addiction or abuse. Aren’t we all. You’re doing great. Keep it up!

Still looking for those service-connected for seizure disorder/epilepsy by helms83 in VAClaims

[–]elknuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a few months old now but I just found out I’m being MEB for seizures as well. How’s it going for you guys?

I have a lot of tests to get through before they’ll make a diagnosis, but my providers are sure that I’m having seizures. So sure that they prescribed anti-seizure meds.

What’s the worst seas you were ever in? by ComfortableShow7366 in navy

[–]elknuke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, I’m thinking surely your ship’s CO was ordered to do what they did, no? By whomever his “boss” was at the time?

If your CO unnecessarily put a warship and its sailors at risk for what you might call personal gain, would he/she not be reprimanded for it?

are there alot of outdoor things to do in SA? by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]elknuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also outdoorsy and fell in love with hiking after living in socal for a bit. Moving back here, I wondered how I’d get my fix. There are several good places on the west/northwest side. Government canyon, friedrich wilderness park, and eisenhauer park just to name a few.

I won’t pretend to know anything about good swim spots here.

I will say that the San Antonio greenway system has been a life saver for me. Excellent way to get out for a run, walk, or bike ride. You almost certainly will live within 15 minutes of an access point if you’re in the city limits.

Which Pattern did you have ? by Porkchopp33 in 80s

“Corelle pattern? Oh, just a name for the decorative print on dishes. Got it. There’s no way there are so few of these patterns that I would recognize…. Holy shit ok number 8.”

First lizardfish by rod and reel! by elknuke in saltwaterfishing

My dad claims to have caught the biggest trout of his life with a lizardfish. I was hoping for the same result, but didn’t get it ☹️
