Why did they make it so difficult, I am paying for the membership already I just want to see what books are included right now. Can anyone help?
please nobody be mean, but does anyone else (especially anyone who gets focal seizures) fart like crazy during them? I mean like, nonstop chains of farts. Poof poof poof, it’s awful. Am I alone?
I don't want to listen to AI content, but there is no way to turn it off on YouTube Music. I resent that Youtube Music does not have a way to say "turn off AI content." AI steals from artists and is killing the environment. Yet there is no way to opt out.
Hi all! Epilepsy person here. Has anyone had water weight gain on lamotrigine? If so, did it go away? I started lamotrigine 25mg (starter dose, slow taper schedule) for focal seizures a week ago, and put on five pounds! I am not on my period. It is clearly water, my diet and movement have not changed.
I have some silent liver issues (function is good, it is just stressed from another underlying genetic issue), and do not know if maybe because lamotrigine is processed in the liver, this could be causing water retention.
The problem is, lamotrigine is already having a small impact on my daily focal seizures, so I hesitate to give it up already.
Info from pharmacy on exactly what I have: Lamotrigine 25 Mg Tablet, Generic for Lamictal, Subvenite

I admit that I have found the first three episodes a little slow, but I was told by all of reddit that the fourth is where the big bang happens. Looking forward to it! Mostly I wish the show had better focus and contrast, there are so many wonderful details in the background (like the eye chart in the doctor's office that only had bizarre E and M symbols rotated, nothing else), but the shots are all soft focus so all that detail is lost. Prop and set design people who worked so hard, you deserve better camera work to show off your skills!
The new timer was awful! It was hard to reset the timer and flashed me with a big white bar when my phone was in night mode. It was also harder to set custom times. I hated the new timer. Yesterday, the old timer showed back up like magic. Yes!
Just sayin.
I have been having nonstop daily focal aware seizures for years, untreated (thanks, crappy docs). I started lamotrigine 25mg today. I’m still having a focal right now but it’s less potent than usual. It’s not a placebo, I swear, I know my symptoms well. But the focal today is absolutely about 25% less awful than most days, like someone put a blanket over the seizure; still happening, just a little less awful.
“Internet Sez“ lamotrigine helping on day 1 isn’t possible, that the medicine takes weeks or months to have any impact at all. But I can tell a difference, I swear. On day one. Is it possible?
I just started 25 mg lamotrigine today for focal seizures, with the initial goal of 50 mg. I now don’t know if I should ask for an extended release or stay on the regular tabs twice a day. If you take lamotrigine, do you take the regular tabs or extended release, and why?
Getting started at 25mg and will work up to 50mg, then see. The focals are all day and all night, every day, nonstop. Like many people, I went undiagnosed and dismissed by doctors for years. Hoping this medicine helps! If anyone has any tips, please share. I'm going to start it in the morning instead of at night, so I can be awake if something goes bad.
Naming a new human is hard. Sometimes when naming a baby, people think more about their own emotions as a parent than the kid growing up and living with that name on a driver's license, school applications, or resume. I know a few 20-somethings job hunting right now that keep saying they wish they had "normal" names and traditional spellings. Everyone wants to be an individual but the kid should be the one to decide that.
