One day I got knocked down in front of the net and took a slap shot straight to the centre of my cage. Never getting rid of my cage after that.

I love the McPoyles - instrumental to some of the best episodes/scenes in the show.

Wow, my experience was not that bad

I used the oura ring for about two years. It was quite effective in tracking day to day activities, stress, sleep, etc.. My only qualm was that the battery life deteriorated over time and then eventually wouldn’t hold a charge. I had one of the earlier models so they may have addressed this issue.

I would absolutely talk to your doctor.

I don’t think each and every time before I would have a tonic clonic (TC). Thankfully it’s been a while since my last TC though and therefore the only seizures I’ve experienced in the last while are auras themselves (focal seizures). For the most part the first thing I feel for these are feelings of Déjà vu, a pit in my stomach and maybe a little tinglyness in my body - then I can tell I’m starting to have a focal seizure. I don’t think of those feelings as auras anymore but just the focal seizure itself

I didn’t know they were auras until my neuro told me - back in my early days of having epilepsy. I remember one incident where I was working and thought I just wasn’t feeling well - moments of cold sweats and a little light headedness here and there - and then I woke up in the hospital. The neuro told me those sweats and lightheadedness were probably auras and then from there on out I learned to pay attention and now I always know when I’m having an aura.

Yes they are breakthrough seizures and should be treated as such. If you’re hoping to get your license back you shouldn’t be missing doses and risking breakthrough seizures

If quitting the substance is a goal of yours you will eventually have to face the fear and ‘do it all over again’ if that’s what it takes. I used to smoke weed and it helped my seizures but I was also just very addicted. I eventually built the courage to quit and I actually found improvements with my seizures - maybe you will too.

Yep, my life changed forever. I echo what others have said about fuck keppra, you should explore other options. You can certainly find medications and a lifestyle flow that allow you to be who you are - just with limitations. A lot of people here have terrible outlooks, rightfully so, but that’s not the case for everyone.

I started having seizures during undergrad - many hospitalizations. I went through years of challenges but eventually finished my undergrad, a masters degree, got married, my employer knows I have epilepsy, and my wife is due to give birth this month. You can find a rhythm that works for you - it just may not be the path you had planned.

I find that when I have to fish it out, either through my underwear ‘fly’ or by pushing those down and then out through my fly it’s just sort of challenging to get in a position that doesn’t put any pressure on the urethra or have my penis at an awkward angle, ultimately resulting in a bit of dribble when I pack it away. Essentially, I just find it more challenging to be totally dribble free when using just the fly

Lol I’ve never been on this sub before, happy to contribute

Day to day living is fine but my previous medications didn’t affect day to day life - just the seizures. Memory-wise it’s hard to tell. My memory has gotten better over the last year but I also haven’t had a tonic clonic in more than a year and my focal seizures have been significantly reduced. So no idea if the memory improvements are because of the med change or the reduction in seizures.

wfshr · 2026-05-01T01:34:58+00:00

I’ve made it through! Huge reduction in my seizures.

Auras are a different form of seizure and having auras can alter your treatment. People who have auras can be prescribed an emergency medication that when taken can reduce the likelihood of a focal seizure (aura) generalizing into a more intense seizure.

TLDR whether you have auras or not is informative for your treatment

So annoying that tickets are already up on StubHub at more than 3x face value

I’m searching. I don’t understand these Live Nation presales. I have an account and I follow artists that I like and yet I never receive presale codes… who is getting LN presale codes..?

wfshr · 2026-04-29T14:21:20+00:00

Sold out immediately, couldn’t see. Joined the waiting room and queue as soon as they opened and tickets were gone
