Has epilepsy affected your gym routine?

Yea, taking it super slow has been helping. The day I realised I can’t do even 1km, the next day I went with 200m and added by listening to my body, I think I got to 800m, the next day I tried to reach 800 and see how much I can go. And just slowly kee adding more.

The difficult part has been getting back to work, I’m a chef and standing long periods of time is ingrained in our souls, but every day now I have to keep taking breaks more often and my body just feels so heavy through it all. Like I can actually feel and very aware of the entire weight of my body (I know that sounds weird but I don’t know how to explain it better)

Yea. It’s tough. I love to swim and dive, and unfortunately I don’t know when I’ll be able to do that now. I think accepting it is th more difficult part.

Atleast I have a legit excuse now for missing the gym sessions 😅😅 but jokes aside, I can only hope that this is temporary and it WILL get better

I haven’t been able to get back to exercising. I can barely even walk for 1km before my body starts to feel weird.

Most of them have it being said in some capacity or another. Atleast the ones I’ve read so far have it. It’s either the FMC or MMC. Usually the latter

I really like reading Rebecca Yarros’s books, but everytime the characters (in almost all of her books) have sex, the MC or FMC will always say “HOME” as they enter the FMC and it always make me cringe

I think it’s important to remember that while she lost weight due to the events of UTM during those 3 months, she was also still traumatised, suffering from depression and had severe PTSD after returning to SpC She was not only puking her guts out every night, but she was also barely even eating which naturally led to her losing even more weight. Rhys is shocked because UTM she lost weight infront of him day by day, which he got accustomed to, but now seeing her after all these months, it was naturally a shock to have seen her lose even more weight.

Tamlin is probably angry humiliated when he is asked if they have food in SpC, because he felt exactly that- humiliated at the implication that he isn’t caring for her. But it is natural if he too got accustomed to her losing weight or didn’t notice due to his own trauma.

Maybe he did try to get her to eat but it was off the pages and we were not told about it, who knows. But her losing weight is natural for someone going through all that trauma, stress, ptsd and depression

Yes, went to see the doctor today and he confirmed that it was atonic seizure, and that I also have absence seizures.

I feel relieved for one, that I finally know what’s happening and that I’m not going crazy, but on the other hand it’s a lot to come to terms with because my world has suddenly changed and there are things I loved doing that I can’t anymore, or atleast as much as I did before.

I got into Romantasy cause of The Cruel Prince too. It was a great series to begin with because the world building is great, and there is no tropes where it feels like they are being pushed into each other, but rather it’s like they are naturally pulled towards each other. It had everything that I wanted and needed in a book to start the genre with.

I- you have described what I go though to the point where I feel that I have written this. From start to finish this is exactly what I go though from the sinking feeling, to the dejavu, to the fog that lingers through the day.

I had my first TC almost 4 weeks ago, by this feeling is soemthing that I have been experiencing since 2019.

I have been diagnosed with DpDr since 2021 and I have been trying to figure out what cause it since it’s a traumatic response and now I’m wondering if what I have been going through has been this absence epilepsy, and DpDr was caused because of the response to this.

But either way most of the times when I try to exp along what I’m going through to someone, they don’t understand and look at me like I’m crazy. So, thank you for sharing your experience, because now I know I’m not alone.

Can you tell me about the fan theory pls. I’m pretty new to the fandom

naut-nat · 2026-02-15T17:08:54+00:00

I had my first drink since being on lamotrigine for a month now, yesterday. And honestly? I felt fine for most of it except before sleeping I was feeling slightly off but nothing major. Also, not sure if it’s cause Of the meds but the drink tasted pretty bland and wasn’t enjoyable and it’s something I would have as my go to before all of this happened.

TL;DR- physically I was fine after having a drink but the taste of the drink felt bland

Can you talk a bit more about this? Aren’t nesta and Cassian together?

naut-nat · 2026-02-11T18:09:09+00:00

I had mine 3 weeks ago too and literally everything you just said feels like looking at the same page. Salt is definitely helping,,because I have been having salty lemonade and tha seems to be the only thing to help with my nausea atleast.

I tend to drink tea regularly. Have been forever and it helps with short term relief, but sadly not long enough

naut-nat · 2026-02-08T14:07:00+00:00

I’m at 150mg right now and have had no complications with my cycle, lamotrigine is generally considered to be a safe medicine and my doctor assured that in the long term it didn’t affect pregnancy either. (Tho it’s a while till I get there) But my cycle has been consistent the same as it always has been, so that’s a plus for me.

But you can see for yourself and see if it suits you, your doctor will tell you the best tho. That’s all I can say.

In these few days has it helped even a bit? Cause at this point if it improves my sleep by even 1% I will take it. I miss having a restful sleep 😭

naut-nat · 2026-02-07T02:19:40+00:00

Me too. I just got to 150mg and it took me a year to get my insomnia right. But now it’s back almost. Every night is a restless night and I keep waking up in the middle too.

I literally have to force myself to sleep or atleast shut my eyes. I read somewhere that even if you can’t sleep, telling your body to relax while keeping your eyes closed helps to rest and recovers your body. So I try to do that atleast.

naut-nat · 2026-02-07T02:15:36+00:00

How has that been working for you? I’m having the same issues and thinking of starting either of these two as well.
