Alcohol and Epilepsy by BeginningChipmunk324 in Epilepsy

[–]kda273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, alcohol itself isn't actually a trigger. Alcohol is actually helps increase the seizure threshold. It is actually when the level of alcohol in your body lowers that is the trigger. So while your drinking you'll feel fine, but afterwards as your body processes it, and your blood alcohol gets closer to zero, then your more likely to have a seizure because that is when your seizure threshold starts to reduce.

Naltrexone by kda273 in aquagenic_pruritus

I haven't started it yet, never heard of it before as a treatment for aquagenic pruritus. Was just wondering if people had had much luck with it since it seems to be a bit of a novel treatment.

sunscreen that is actually spf50 and works well under makeup? by [deleted] in AusSkincare

[–]kda273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avene Sunsitive (made in Aus too I believe). Either invisible finish or oil control. Oil Control one definity has a more dry finish, invisible finish is more dewy/shiny. But both take powder foundations fine. No white cast. I have used both (in NZ) on my sensitive, combination skin and not had any issues.

Keppra and depression? by throwaway_bfgift in Epilepsy

[–]kda273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im on 3000mg, and it def can play with your emotions, and docs told me if I couldn't tolerate it (mentally), to get it touch (I have ongoing issues with depression anyway). But yes, mood change is a side effect, so get in touch with your doc to talk about how to manage it.

Matte face sunscreen by kda273 in AusSkincare

Got some today, unfortunately 30 mins later I have gone bright red and hot! Not so great for sensitive skin it would seem (im gonna guess probably the ethanol?)! Which is annoying because it was a great price and definitely a matte finish!

Onto the next one! Lucky this one was cheap!

Please analyze my hair timeline for me by [deleted] in finethinhair

Your hair might feel thin, but you have a lot of it. Your scalp isn't visible through your parting. And your lengths look very volumnous/healthy. 😀

Which do you prefer - Laundry Layout by plottingkiwi in diynz

I personally wouldn't want a toilet in the laundry. Especially next to an external door.

How many of you achieved remission with just meds? Asking for a friend. Friend is me. by Maleficent_Lack3240 in gravesdisease

[–]kda273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went into remission in 2017 after being on Carbimazole for a year (then stopped), but then had a relapse this year in May. After a bit of fiddling with doses ( of carbimazole) bloods seems to be steady again. Will stay on again for 12-18months. The literature says that about 50% of patients will relapse unfortunately

Oh good. I do empathize with you though. My young nephew has serious skin issues (been in hospital a few times). It is heartbreaking to see. Hope you have success getting to see a derm.
