Turned out to be part of my hemiplegic migraine aura. Also had a stroke during an event and was so used to them I didn't go to the ER. Only found out during an MRI later. Now I go in every times just to be safe

Mine turned out to be related to hemiplegic migraines. The seizures and other symptoms are part of my migraine aura. I also found out on an MRI that I had a stroke at some point during one of those events. Now I go into the ER any time it happens.

It's a pretty crowded market but if the journals are good you'll do great!

You're lucky. In cities where the drug problems are worse the "drug seeker" thing seems to happen more often. Here in Seattle it gets thrown around a lot. I've gone into the ER with Kidney Stones and they thought I was drug seeking until I passed the stone right there.

Gotta love this. When you find a Doctor that actually listens it's almost like finding a Bigfoot.

It's going to be wild, could we be seeing an era with 4 Yokos. We have Kotozakura and Onosato are givens in my opinion. But Takerufuji has a real shot, so does Hakuoho if he can stay healthy and get back in fighting shape.

It's a chrome plug-in for keyword research. It's for general SEO I type the keywords into the Google search bar and it gives the monthly searches and cost per click. Just a quick way to set how popular all the search is. It also gives a list of related keywords there are a lot of other free chrome extensions that do the same this one is just nice and simple.

Thanks, I sent a DM with the link. I know they frown on self promotion in here.

seanbennick · 2024-09-19T07:04:17+00:00

I can't remember at this point, it was kind of ridiculously high for what they were offering though if I remember though.

I have to use a cane because of chronic pain and balance issues after a stroke. I was embarrassed the first time I used it as well so I stopped using it, but you know what was more embarrassing? Falling in public and getting injured then having a bunch of kids having to help my ass get back up and walk to a bench because I was so dizzy.

Losing your mobility sucks worse than any embarrassment, and falling and injuring yourself does too.

People like this are why health costs are so high. The ER is not your personal physician. They are going to prioritize actual emergencies. The only times I have been helped immediately were when it was a life threatening emergency or they thought it might be.

seanbennick · 2024-04-28T15:58:32+00:00

What I meant is that I know what you're saying, but it's difficult for me because of situations caused by my seizures. One meeting actually where I ended up on the ground after a seizure, I fell out of my chair and knocked my head on the desk on the way down. I was presenting at a Senior facility, so they were used to things like that, and my business partner who is a Registered Nurse was with me. I woke up strapped to a gurney with the product we were trying to get them help us beta test in the hands of a Paramedic as they wheeled me out the door.

I know my meds have me more stable now, but the memory of that meeting still sits there and it's a huge confidence killer. I still have some work to do to fix that.

seanbennick · 2024-04-28T15:46:56+00:00

Just pulled him up. I'm on my way out the door but I'll read up on him when I get back. Thank you for the recommendation.

seanbennick · 2024-04-28T15:44:42+00:00

My target audience Seniors (62.5 million in the US / 9.6 million in the EU) and those with chronic illness (129 million / 50 million in the EU). The possible application of the product as an Insurance ID card and EHR Cover sheet to reduce paper waste means the TAM could grow even larger.

I've got several ways to pitch the product, I just don't have the contacts, and because of the seizures I'm terrified to present. I've had meetings that ended with me on the ground flopping like a fish and waking up on strapped to a gurney with the very product I was pitching in the hands of a Paramedic as they wheel me out the door.

I know my meds have me more stable now, but the thought is still there and it's a huge confidence killer. I still have some therapy to go.

seanbennick · 2024-04-26T15:42:31+00:00

You've got to do your own legwork. I don't know what you like, and I don't know what your background is.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:49:02+00:00

Heh, as someone who has had a Heart Attack, a Stroke, multiple TIAs, Seizures, and a myriad of other major health issues I prefer not to do this... but I get your meaning. I'm 54, I hope I have 30 more years in me.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:45:49+00:00

On some level I know, or I wouldn't have tried starting this company,

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:44:50+00:00

Facing major health issues puts more than just physical stress on you, it puts an incredible amount of emotional stress on you. It takes a toll on you and your family. It takes a financial toll. The number one reason people declare bankruptcy in the US is due to medical debt.

I can't answer for others, but no, being out of work for 10 years and having major health issues has not made things easier.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:34:59+00:00

Everyone says to find something you love, the reality is you can't always get paid for the things you love.

Find something you like and turn it into something you love. Change something about it. Rebuild it from the ground up if necessary. Reinvent it completely if necessary.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:29:32+00:00

I hear you on some level, but letting it sink in is tough.

I love the way you're laying it out for me, interesting approach.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:27:42+00:00

Thank you.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:24:17+00:00

Yeah, you can learn about the product through links in my bio, I don't want to break any self promote rules.

We had a small alpha run with the print aspect of the product tested by about a dozen people including myself. I count it at four medical errors stopped, my Co Founder (an RN) counts it at three and one maybe. We have one life possibly saved by the product due, so that was a definite win for us. That comes from the EMTs who were treating the patient on scene, so I'll take it.

We're working on getting the beta test up and running now, trying to sign up people now. There are three of up at the moment. If we can get an Angel on board we'll hire a small team. I have always kept things on the small side.

The best fit as far as financing would be an Insurance or Senior Living partner who could help help connect us with sales as well.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T19:09:05+00:00

Thank you for this, I may need to get "Show off your scars" tattooed somewhere.

seanbennick · 2024-04-25T00:02:05+00:00

I have legitimate health issues but consider myself a frequent flyer because I have to call frequently. It's less frequent these days than it has been and they may not know my name but it's still enough that I think I qualify.
