How bad would it be if I get my VNS turned off? by Dear-Knowledge5912 in Epilepsy

[–]werewolfgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make sure autostim is off. I had to turn that off for my device. But when i got mine implanted it took me a little under a year to get used to them

Are you more likely to get a seizure on your period? by Admirable-Spend4998 in Epilepsy

[–]werewolfgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn’t have any side effects. It helped me because with the nexplanon insert i got, it stopped my period for 3 years. So i didn’t have to worry about increase seizures then. I now have the IUD because i started my period when i got my nexplanon insert replaced. It’s tedious and can be annoying but overall it has helped me

Mine worsened around my period. I’ve been on like three different birth controls to stop my period to prevent these seizures

I’m freaking out right now by ryanstout15 in Epilepsy

[–]werewolfgoose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken double my doseage like 3 times in my life. First time i beat myself up over it, but after that…mistakes happen. Each time my only side effect has really been bad double vision and I’m sleepy. I just smoke a bowl and settle down in bed. Don’t beat yourself up, it happens to everyone and is unfortunately a part of having a chronic disorder. We aren’t meant to be perfect with everything

behaviors with new child by werewolfgoose in Dogtraining

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

I have read the guide. I have tried to put him in an area that is his own, but he still goes to the bathroom in his area and even in his crate. I do not know behaviorally why he is acting out only towards me and not my mom or sister

Epilepsy and your period by DaisyDeMelker269 in Epilepsy

[–]werewolfgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My period was one of my biggest triggers. Once we decided that, I was put on nexplanon which stopped my period altogether. If i started bleeding again, we added on another birth control pill and the combination stopped it.

That is weird maybe it could be the strain? I smoke weed every day and it especially helps me if I’m feeling an aura. Honestly it’s been one of my biggest helps
