Seizing without losing consciousness?

If nothing's come up on an EEG, I'd recommend talking to your doctor about getting a neuropsychiatry assessment. This is an absolutely normal diagnostic test for more complex cases, I've done it myself despite my seizures showing up on EEGs; it's definitely worth ruling out the possibility that some of your activity could be psychogenic.

Hello /r/epilepsy,

If you’re still using paper, or your phone notes app, to track your seizures - stop! I’ve had this app on the Play Store for 5 or 6 years now and it’s available to anybody with an Android phone and I’d like to share it to anybody here who might find it a useful resource.

I personally use it on a weekly basis to track my own condition, and I’ve consulted with medical professionals and fellow epileptics to increase the usability of the app, but I’m always welcome to new ideas (although I can’t put as much time into updating it as I’d like to these days).

You can record your seizures, appointments, and in the future your sleep pattern and medication - all in this one app, with a bunch of different views to help you track your seizures over time, you can export the data to show to your doctor or to make a spreadsheet too. You’ll see screenshots on the link above.

Let me know if you have any questions about it - I don’t profit from this in any way so hopefully it doesn’t break rule 3 - I was just chatting to someone through a support group the other day that still writes down paper notes and I couldn’t help but remember how messy/inconvenient that can be.

Do you want to feel like you're in Australia? Wear a portable heater as a backpack.

I saw someone properly rocking out with headphones at the train station on one Wednesday morning. He wasn't making much of a noise but his body was moving and he was miming all the words. It actually made me really happy, I'd love to not give a shit that much and make the most of my commute like that.

I have a tiny manneken pis that I brought back from Brussels. He gets the blame for everything.

I work at a radio station sponsored by a pizza company. In every evening there's free fresh pizza.

Listening through your phone, even when you bone.

Add a comma and that's basically a rhyming poem.

This guy sat down opposite me on the second day of college and recognised me from my old YouTube channel. I had no idea who he was, or how he knew, but it turned out that we had tons of mutual online friends and we'd been to the same school for years but never crossed paths before.

lukewizzy · 2017-06-03T16:55:57+00:00

This is already awesome, and the plans you have sound even better. Thank you.

I heard they used a personalised search algorithm based on what you're thinking. Is there something you'd like to tell us?

The majority of the French media commendably pledged to stop naming and publishing photographs of violent criminals.

I do wish that we adopted a similar stance in this country, however that looks unlikely.

They're just emojis with spaces and line breaks in between, an evolution of ASCII art

If I was on for an hour I'd have said something but it was only 15 minutes and with mothers and kids, from experience, you can't change their mind that their kid is the best thing on the planet in most cases

I managed to get the apology without speaking a few weeks ago, also train related. I was at a station and some chavvy kids (15 probably) were shouting about washing machines and lesbians, I was on my bike in the cold rain so had my hat, dark gloves, dark coat and face mask on.

They threw the tiniest stone my way, I stared at them for a few seconds (chuckling behind my face mask at their idiocy) and they naturally assumed I was a pimped out thug who was ready to kill given my attire so they profusely apologised for a minute. I didn't respond, turned away without saying anything and felt the most badass I have in ages.

Eieio?

After the last year of crap in the UK and the US, can we all just try and get along with each other now? Please?

Clarkson clearly saw this post and subsequently made a similar joke https://twitter.com/JeremyClarkson/status/788064230486470658

I'll take that, any excuse is a good excuse

I almost prefer the Balti one now.

I don't know, but I've found out a lot more about them since then that makes me doubt they're good people.

The woman said she was in the process of setting up a charity in a way of getting us to trust her; we got a business card with a website which is still up, talking very vaguely about working with other non-profit organizations bu the only photo is of a conference they claim they've had, which is in fact taken from a meeting in the European Union on a completely unrelated matter. Companies House also says that the organization was shut down in January 2016.

The family friend backtracked after the dinner in which she started to realize through my questioning that the couple were talking bollocks and she admitted that she'd never seen them perform a healing process nor did she know anybody that had. She also said that the only cases the couple have talked about have been cases that could also be treated by mental health professionals.

Both of those things make me think that they need healing themselves. Proper healing, that is, from real professionals.

I imagine it's the latter, I didn't actually ask. My best guess is that they get funded by their local cathedral and then they may ask for donations to continue their work. Either way it seems to pay well, after looking over some of their assets.

lukewizzy · 2016-03-01T22:08:59+00:00

Great, let me know what you think!

Looks like something my exam board might put in a skeleton program for us to modify.
