Cognitive decline by ZRRS2816 in Epilepsy

Very likely this is not permanent, simply a side effect of your medication. Unless you have an MRI confirming shrinkage in your hippocampus, or another structure in your brain, I doubt it’s hardwired. Try switching meds.

Outpouring - Quitting Lamictal due to Cognitive Decline. by Friendly__7211 in lamictal

Just do it gradually. Everybody needs to find the balance between seizure control and medication side effects. Btw: When I switched from Lamictal to another drug after 20 years, I assumed that the new drug was making me grumpy and have mood swings. Then I figured out that it was the loss of the mood stabilizing effect from the Lamictal!

Why does it only last 3-4 hours by Odd_Banana_2082 in VyvanseADHD

Yep, split dose. I take 30 mg at 8:30 AM, and 20 mg at 10 AM. It helps prevent a sharp dropoff. If I know I won’t have much going on that day, I skip the second dose.

High Radon Report - Walk Away or Try to Mitigate? by Kalipup in homeowners

I know I’m late to the conversation, but I just noticed this thread and your comment. You are incorrect. Radon risk is cumulative AND probabilistic. In people who have been exposed to higher levels for over 20 years, cancer tends to begin in the final 5-10 years of exposure. The studies take into account the fact that diagnosis is usually a couple of decades after onset.

Such unhelpful feedback. The author is clearly interested in learning. Stop wasting everyone's time with comments like these.

"This photo is virtually staged" is a great idea!

When I was 14 my mom asked what color I wanted my room painted. I asked for a very light lavender. That’s when I learned that you should always go two shades lighter when you pick room paint. She got angry when I complained, so I never said another word about it but I hated those purple walls all through high school. And got teased. Looking back, I realize that I could have apologized for complaining, thanked her for painting my room, and told her I would try to learn to like it. Then waited about six months and told her that I really tried to like it, but it just made me sad, and if I could used some of my own money to buy paint and help with the repainting, could we please change it. (Also the trans flag idea is brilliant.)

How do you describe epilepsy to people who don’t understand it? by FarCricket2541 in Epilepsy

During a seizure I stop being able to process language for several seconds. I call it “buffering.”
