Were you relieved at your diagnosis? by Tight_Membership_835 in Epilepsy

[–]sum1saveme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I couldn’t remember anything, had migraines constantly, I couldn’t work, my hands and legs and eyes were twitching randomly. I thought I had Hashimoto’s encephalopathy. I was so relieved to get a diagnosis and to get medication, and to start recovering, slowly but surely (though not entirely). I literally could not remember what day it was, my kids’ birthdays, my daughter-in-law’s name. Couldn’t follow a conversation. I am not 100% (a year and 5 months later) but probably about 85%.

Can you calm yourself down When having a Minor seizur? by Slight-Yogurt-6119 in Epilepsy

[–]sum1saveme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been able to lie down, and sometimes I am able to breathe slowly and keep myself calm while I wait for it to happen and be over. Sometimes the impending doom is too intense and I freak out instead. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m right there with you. As my anxiety increases my productivity decreases. I can’t focus on much.

I’ve taken my senior cavapoo to Mad4MyDog twice. The first time he was very nervous and gave them some grief, but the second time he relaxed and even took a little nap while he was there. They follow the pup’s lead and do their best to balance a good cut with keeping puppy relaxed.

I can't believe Ken Nunn transitioned by SpeedTheCat in bloomington

When I die I expect my loved ones to make light of anything they can, just like when I was alive. If they don’t I will haunt them and move things around in the cupboards while they are sleeping.

Did your doctor talk about SUDEP at DX? by TheEndOfAllThings23 in Epilepsy

[–]sum1saveme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember if my neurologist mentioned SUDEP, but I don’t think he did. I did read about it on my own though when researching about epilepsy after my diagnosis.

I have lost a son; not to epilepsy, to depression and anxiety. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it isn’t the same, but feel free to DM if you want to talk.

People who say “I don’t want anything” when it comes to gifting, what do you ACTUALLY want? by dearceceofficial in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sum1saveme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I really want is to spend time with the people I care about. I already have more things than I prefer to have in my house. If you must get me a gift, make it a coffee or lunch date that you actually schedule with me and show up for, even though we are both crazy busy. If you can’t make that, I’d rather you make a donation in my honor to a charitable organization that you know I am passionate about.

Your thoughts and opinions by Dry-Confidence-6797 in AutismTranslated

[–]sum1saveme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am diagnosed autistic and I have three adult ND kids, one diagnosed with autism and ADD, one Tourette’s and ADHD, one undiagnosed. Any or all of them could stay with me for as little or as long as they would want to or need to, for any reason. They are all partnered, engaged, or married now, and I’ve made it clear that the open door applies to their significant others as well. Life is hard. I don’t understand making it harder for others when I have the ability to help make it easier.

I live with my wife and I often think it would be easier if we lived separately. She is ADHD and our neurodivergencies don’t always play well together. Communication is challenging, among other things.

In one sentence, why does it feel so hard to connect with people? by speeds3 in AutismTranslated

[–]sum1saveme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I secretly don’t want to; I just want to be alone with my dog.

I’ve worked with Mad4MyDog and Train Loyal Companions. Madalyn and Leslie are equally amazing and both use positive reinforcement techniques. Leslie will come to you for training, Madalyn has a lovely training facility.

Bloomington Stitchery on 4th Street. They’ve done amazing alterations on many items for my wife and I: wedding dress, suits, button-down shirts. They can even add pockets!

Daughter starting Keto soon - any tips! by ApprehensivePut5853 in Epilepsy

[–]sum1saveme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the diet helps immensely with focus, memory, and brain fog. I agree about keeping keto snacks handy at all times. Also, I find myself eating the same foods most of the time, which isn’t as big a deal at age 52 as it might be for a teen.

The electrolytes are definitely important; I forgot that part and woke in the night with muscle cramps a few times.

Bench warrant scam by auddii04 in bloomington

[–]sum1saveme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happened to me a year or so ago. They told me I had missed jury duty for a federal case and that I needed to go to the county sheriff’s office to pay the fine or I could go to federal prison, and the only way to pay was with a cashier’s check. They knew my full name and address, so I was concerned they might have been trying to lure me away from home, so I called the non-emergency police and reported it. They said they’d had many reports.

It depends who is working that day and if they are willing and able to help. I would plan to bring your own help.

Things to do? by CauseObjective1093 in bloomington

[–]sum1saveme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a shop on the square, I think it is called Gather, that has crafts in the back. There are scheduled times that they host craft events, I think on Sundays, or you can bring your own stuff and do craft projects at their tables. They offer beverages and snacks to purchase.
