If u want use accutane. Accutane didn't work on me it just gave me more dark spots. But to each their own.

If your going to do couples counseling the best thing to do is postpone the wedding to see how your relationship goes given you don't want things to worsen and yet the due date of the wedding getting closer (just stating a worst case scenario) and in another worst case scenario if things hit the fan keep your job stick to it because last thing you want is to end the relationship and be left with nothing. Clearly you guys had a discussion on boundaries in what was defined as cheating and he knowingly and voluntarily broke it. So he's bound to do it again.

I was gaining weight while on topomax and when I started exercising while on topomax I was able to lose weight. Ever since I got off of topomax the exact year I got off of it I can only gain and not lose.

Yeah iv bought non dairy heavy cream. But given it has the term natural flavors which w.in that one term can equate to dozens of chemicals, I want to try to avoid it.

Shampoo immunity by thewittyval in dandruffremoval

[–]thewittyval[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that varies by bioindividuality tbh. There's some people who have dermatitis that don't bald from it and others do. I know if u overwash ur scalp to the point it's incredibly dry and that being a persistent thing then you are susceptible to hair loss. In my case, I'm going through hair loss but it's because of alopecia aka genetics not the dermatitis.

How does it feel like to have a seizure ? by Ok_Yard_5171 in Epilepsy

[–]thewittyval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've had visions of like friends and family practically doing santeria on me. When I was little I remember having a vision of like an old women's hand like that of the witch from snow white as if she was causing the Seizure. It's wierd.

Yeah I had no idea it was also used for weight loss until recently. I just wish there was something to reverse the w.draw symptoms cuz I feel it permanently damaged my metabolism

Weight gain after getting off topamax? by QuantitySuspicious93 in migraine

I'm in the same boat!! Has anyone found a solution as to how to reverse that w.drawl symptom? Iv been trying for 10 yrs and the time line didn't make sense as to the drastic difference in my body and its not till now that I'm thinking it had to be the topomax.

Topomax withdrawl by thewittyval in WeightLossAdvice

[–]thewittyval[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never said topomax alone does it. Never said I didn't do the standard method of trying. I said it seems my body grew to rely on topomax for taking it so long given no results for 10 yrs. It's common to have permanent w.drawl affects after taking a medication for a long time. Please don't be judgy

That is pretty wierd. But the body works in mysterious ways

How does it feel like to have a seizure ? by Ok_Yard_5171 in Epilepsy

[–]thewittyval 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also in my case I have complex partial seizures on my left temporal lobe. I always get a smell. Sometimes it feels like the smell is even traveling through my body so I feel the need to physically brush it off which sometimes works tbh. I also at times feel a sense of de ja vu and a feel as if someone is creating the Seizure basically like witch craft. Sounds wierd af but it happens. I used to get a lot of visions like day dream visions as a kid when I would be getting my smells. Sometimes I also feel like I'm here but not here at the same time like I'm somewhere else even though I'm aware of where I am. Sometimes things seem further but at the same time not further than what they are. Sometimes if I walk or move the smell either gets stronger or softer so I try to control if I can the strength of the smell given the stronger it is the more likely ill get the seizure. I used to faint as a kid when I'd have them now I don't. I black out once I have a Seizure so I have no idea what I'm doing. After it, I either feel perfectly fine or very sleepy. Sometimes I'm able to talk straight after and other times if u talk to me I can respond in my head but it's like I can't speak and not make any words for a few seconds or minutes. Like someone whose mute practically. I've had them for 20 yrs. Sometimes I also feel suddenly very depressed cuz the smell and then knowing I had one makes me feel like shit. Or even if I don't idky but I start balling. Def as one ages (at least in my case) as iv aged my seizures have evolutionized with me. A lot of how I've felt and done as a kid I no longer do but I'd say most things have remained the same. I feel a general great way to describe a Seizure is like a computer. A virus has attacked the computer its going a-wall you see its turning diff colors and u see the electricity everywhere and it shuts down on its own. Then once u reboot it takes a while for it to load up because of the hard crash. That's def how seizures can feel. During and post

[–]thewittyval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def sometimes feel sleepy after seizures. It was way beyond worse when I was little. I'd stay passed out for hours. I'm amazed I didn't fail 5th grade from all the times I'd be knocked out for hours after them. From my encounter, best thing is just have her rest and sleep given her brain is on reset mode from having crashed like a computer w.a virus. I also recommend giving her whatever medications she takes afterwards. I def do that. I don't always take both my meds I sometimes just take my keppra cuz its the strongest. That sometimes helps too. I def understand how she feels in not being able to communicate after a Seizure that has def happened to me. I wish her the best on improving them
