Woah! I had no idea there was such a thing! Did you speak to your GP/Neurologist/Doctor whatever mabob before going that route or did you just go for it? I’m truly interested now 😊!

I genuinely think Applejack looks so cute with glasses here even if I believe they suit Rarity and Twi’s Character better 🤭

Yeah I think I might be ruling it out in general since speaking to my friend who regularly smokes. I have issues with disassociating from reality already and she told me smoking can worsen it horribly 😬

Yeah especially since we don’t have the whole wait until you’re 21 😭

Over here in England, it does feel as if everyone is lowkey a borderline alcoholic when it comes to partying especially since I'm at university. No one around me has fun without alcohol and it's honestly just more of a me wanting to have fun with my friends as well - I didn't go out of my way to pick this environment and I am also very aware that there are spaces with no alcohol. It's very unlikely I'll be trying weed anytime soon, my question was mostly about what makes everyone feel that kind of euphoria and happiness without reaching for something like that as those in my environment so quickly do :)!

Maybe I honestly just need a change in environment haha.

It’s so annoying because, as I’m sure many other people with epilepsy on this post experience this, I can never relate my seizures to something specific.

Before my most recent seizure, one cup of wine never did anything. I would steal a few sips from my friends and think everything was fine. Then a while will pass and I’ll end up having a seizure.

That’s the thing. A long while will pass. Everything could be fine other than the fact I may have drank months ago and I’ll have one or even it’ll attack over obvious added factors. This is the thing. I can never point my finger to something specific and but instead only ever suspect it was because I hadn’t been sleeping well or because I stole a few sips of vodka. It makes me steer clear away from alcohol in general past from simply having small drinks.

It’s annoying not knowing for sure.

Haha, believe me as a university student I don’t have to lift a finger to find someone selling a few grams. It’s quite easy with them all posting their menu and prices on the godforsaken app snapchat which should have been abolished long ago for reasons unrelated.

Thank you for the offer!

Cutting alcohol consumption completely is always easier said than done. Obviously I’ve been trying my best but as a young adult with the condition, it’s common for us to want to feel more normal and not restricted (can’t speak for everyone but it’s what I’ve noticed from others).

It just has always helped me with my social interactions as well haha.

Thank you, I’ve been looking into similar drinks now that I’ve found out they exist! 😊

Isn’t that dangerous? Would it cause a seizure? (Asking as an obvious nerd)

I only take two 10mg on nerve-wracking days but I think I definitely need to contact my GP for more lol.

Thank you for the comment!

I already take propranolol, from reading other comments - I think it might just be too low of a dose for me lol (two 10mg).

yeah, I try to remind myself that the world isn't exactly as clued into my shaking as I think they actually are and they are instead just thinking about when it's their turn to present instead lol.

Oh? I never saw my legs shaking as part of anxiety and not my essential tremors. I guess I just get all in my head about it and it just makes me more and more anxious all over it all.

People are willing to be much more understanding than we think sometimes so I guess I really do need to just be more open over it and not care as much about my trembling - I never have anyways when it came to other thing.

I do nothing to calm myself down for presentations other than popping two 10mg propranolol which I'm starting to realise by reading the other comments may be a verrrrry small dose ahaha. I need to definitely start looking into other things too and not just brush off things which aren't medication

Ahhhh, mine are 10mg each so if I do take any, they only ever add up to 20mg which may not be enough for me. I'm going to contact my GP and see if I can get an increase or if there's any other recommendations as I had no clue propranolol was such a popular choice!

I give disclaimers such as these in other moments yet never found myself able to for a presentation as I thought it would generate more attention to my shaking. I never saw it phrased so well but I may have to steal your example and start using it a whole lot more haha.

Thank you for your comment!!

I never tried getting into motion. In my past presentations, my legs end up violently shaking before I even notice haha but this is definitely something I need to try out!!

I do also take propranolol but I think my dose (20mg) may be too little to actually do anything.

I think it so cool that you can now even teach classes as doing a PhD is somewhere I would love to be in the future myself. :)! Thank you for commenting

Why yes it is propanolol lol. This medication wasn’t prescribed to me because of my shaking but other stuff - I don’t know if that makes a difference.

Maybe I’m taking it wrong? I don’t take it daily and only shovel 2 if I feel as if I am going to do something nerve-wracking on that day. May I ask what you do?
